Note
For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, though the sauce may be slightly thinner.
Ensure prosciutto is thinly sliced for best texture; you can chop it into bite-sized pieces if preferred.
If using canned artichoke hearts, rinse them under cold water to remove excess brine before adding to the sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream to restore consistency.
Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or zucchini for extra nutrition and color.
