Add the chicken stock, parsley, and 1 cup of cream.
Stir to blend and gently boil to reduce by half.
While the cream is reducing, bring a large quantity (at least 5 quarts) of water to a boil in a pot.
Add salt.
Add the prosciutto, mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, and peas and the remaining cream to the skillet.
Heat until the vegetables are warmed and just cooked through.
While the vegetables are heating, add the pasta to the boiling water, stirring to separate the strands, and cook until al dente.
