Pea Prosciutto Sauce for Pasta

This is a really easy pasta sauce that you can put on whatever your favorite pasta is. Lately, mine is ravioli as you can tell from some of the other posts. I made this because it was on the cover of the most recent Food Network magazine. It was so funny because my sister called me and told me she had to make this recipe and I'd already cut it out. Great minds think alike!
