Four Cheese Fettuccine Alfredo With Pancetta, & Prosciutto image

I won first place in two different Iron-Chef competitions with this savory and delicious take on classic fettuccine alfredo. This is my original recipe. I also made a complimentary perlini pasta with pesto and suggest a side vegetable of garlic Asparagus. You can see my recipes for both of these items.
