Creamy Bow Tie Pasta Salad with Prosciutto, Peas, Grapes, and Dried Cranberries

Description

Whenever I serve this, I am hounded for the recipe. It’s a great summer dish because of the tartness and fruit. It is substantial enough to be served as an entree pasta salad, but great with your favorite picnic dishes.
