"What doesn't taste awesome with cream cheese? You'll love this creamy, comforting side dish! Don't worry if you don't have any lemon zest on hand, and I add a bit more salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!"

Made this for Bargain Basement Tag game 2011 and it went over very well. I did cut the serving size down but otherwise followed the instructions...the cream cheese made the dish into a little cream sauced peas and of course the prosciutto...yum. Thank you for posting.
