Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound fettuccine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 cup diced onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 ounces prosciutto, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup frozen sweet peas
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water with a pasta insert over high heat and bring to a boil. Place the pasta in the water and return to a boil, being sure to stir the pasta until the water boils again.
  • While the pasta cooks, set a large 12-inch saute pan over medium high heat, and add the olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the onions to the pan and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 30 seconds. Place the prosciutto in the pan and saute for 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with wine and cook until it is nearly evaporated, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, peas, salt and pepper to the pan and let the cream reduce by half, 4 to 5 minutes. If the pasta is not yet cooked, turn the fire off the sauce while the pasta continues to cook.
  • Strain the pasta from the water once it is cooked, and place in a large heat resistant bowl. Pour the sauce over the pasta and sprinkle with the cheese and the parsley. Use tongs are two large forks to stir the sauce into the pasta and serve while hot.

PASTA WITH PROSCIUTTO AND PEAS



Pasta with Prosciutto and Peas image

Prosciutto -- air-dried Italian ham -- combined with peas and Parmesan cheese is a classic pasta topping.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt and ground pepper
12 ounces fettuccine
1 tablespoon butter
1 shallot, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas, thawed
8 slices prosciutto (about 4 ounces total), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise, about 1 cup
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • 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. Pour sauce over pasta; add Parmesan, and season generously with salt and pepper. Add enough reserved pasta water to thin sauce as desired. Serve immediately; top with additional Parmesan, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful prosciutto, peas, and lemons.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Fettuccine should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Cook the prosciutto and peas separately: This will help to prevent the prosciutto from becoming tough and the peas from becoming overcooked.
  • Make the lemon-chive sauce just before serving: This will ensure that the sauce is fresh and flavorful.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh chives: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This fettuccine with prosciutto, peas, and lemon-chive sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of salty prosciutto, sweet peas, and tangy lemon-chive sauce is simply irresistible. Serve this dish with a side salad and a glass of white wine for a complete meal.
