Pasta with Prosciutto and Peas Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions
  • Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, make sauce: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat
  • add shallot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes
  • Add cream, peas, and prosciutto; bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Simmer until peas are heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in lemon zest and juice.
  • Add enough reserved pasta water to thin sauce as desired.
  • Pour sauce over pasta; add Parmesan,
  • season generously with salt and pepper
  • Serve immediately; top with additional Parmesan, if desired
  • Note: Prosciutto is easier to slice when it's cold. Stack slices, and cut crosswise with a sharp knife.
