An ooh-so-delicious recipe from genius cooks. Pretty presentation, filling and satisfying. The lemon-orange cream sauce is a nice constrast to the prosciutto. Family and company both will enjoy this. Quick and easy too. Read more French or italian bread with a savory dipping oil goes just great. See less
