Ravioli Prosciutto Alfredo With Herbes De Provence

Submitted by Sandi From CA

"The secret here is the insanely easy but amazingly delicious alfredo sauce. Herbes de provence *must* be used to impart the signature flavor or it's just another alfredo. Use of fresh ravioli from a slightly higher end grocery like Bristol Farms or Whole Foods (or make your own) make this dish eye-poppingly better. Use a pasta filled with cheese or mushrooms rather than meat-filled (we use 4-cheese) so as not to compete with the prosciutto. As usual, the better quality your ingredients, the more fully your dish will bloom!"
