Fresh Fig and Prosciutto Pasta Sauce

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

6 thin slices prosciutto, cut into thin strips

6 fresh figs, stemmed and quartered

1 tablespoon lemon zest

¼ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning, or to taste

Heat butter in a saucepan over low heat; gradually stir flour into melted butter until smooth and bubbly, 2 to 4 minutes. Add salt; stir to combine. Remove from heat; gradually stir in milk until smooth.

Return white sauce to stovetop; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat.

Cook and stir prosciutto and figs in a non-stick pan over medium heat until warm, about 5 minutes. Stir lemon zest and lemon pepper seasoning into the white sauce. Serve figs and prosciutto atop sauce.
