As usual, I can’t follow a recipe without making my own changes (that’s just the way I am). 🙂 That and I forgot to buy proscuitto yesterday (but it really didn’t matter too much as I’m not a huge fan of it anyway)–I substituted thick sliced bacon for it which I had baked in the oven earlier until it was done (but not quite crisp). I also added a touch of sherry and a bit more heavy cream than originally called for in the recipe. It’s not healthy by any stretch of the imagination, but the sauce is so good and so different; is a nice change of pace. I will definitely make it again!
