FETTUCCINE ALFREDO CON PROSCIUTTO



Fettuccine Alfredo Con Prosciutto image

Rich and decadent. You'll never want for a better alfredo sauce. (in my humble opinion).The variations on this sauce are tremendous, see following directions. My Italian brother-in-law even highly recommends!

Provided by Billy Starr

Categories     European

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces prosciutto di Parma
1/4 cup butter
2 large shallots
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese
12 ounces fettuccine (even better Spinach Fettucine)
salt and pepper (To taste. Using white pepper will slightly alter the taste from Black and you won't have black dots )
parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • The cheese selected here are of the best quality. It's your main ingredient of the sauce, try not to cheat. Parmesean/Romano cheese in a can does not melt at all, because of additives. Highly not recommended.
  • Boil water for pasta, cooking until al-dente.
  • Slice prosciutto into squares.
  • Fine Dice Shallots.
  • Grate Cheeses.
  • Melt butter in a generous sized cooking pan (pan with sides) on low heat. Add shallots and cook till tender/translucent. Add salt and pepper to taste (remember there's alot of salt in these cheeses.) Add heavy cream, stirring constantly until the cream almost boils. Remove from heat. Add drained pasta into pan with cheeses. Stir until you've found decadence in a pan!
  • Soon as I can I'll post a picture, but with green pasta, use a white or cream colored serving dish and garnish with parsley and a few ribbons of parmasean cheese! Bon appetito! (cooking time depends really on your pasta choice).
  • Variations:.
  • For example, skip proscuitto and cook shrimp in sauce before adding pasta and cheese. OMG! Add cooked diced chicken breast. Try pancetta or bacon instead of prosciutto. Use with tortellini? Add Mozarella cheese on top of individual servings and bake it under a 450* pre-heated oven for 10-15 min until mozarella is melted and just starting to brown.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt
1 medium beet (6 ounces), peeled and quartered
1 pound gemelli
4 thin slices prosciutto (2 1/2 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Baked Pasta with Spinach, Ricotta, and Prosciutto image

This is a hearty pasta bake dish serves a crowd and has very little active prep time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound gemelli (or other pasta)
6 ounces sliced prosciutto
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess moisture
2 cups milk
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook pasta a few minutes less than package instructions suggest. Cut prosciutto into thin strips.
  • In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss pasta with spinach, half of prosciutto, milk, ricotta, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining prosciutto and Parmesan. Bake until golden, 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to make your dish stand out. Look for high-quality pasta, cheese, and prosciutto.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and will hold its shape well in the sauce.
  • Make the sauce creamy and smooth: Use a combination of butter, cream, and cheese to create a rich and creamy sauce. Be sure to melt the butter and cheese slowly over low heat to prevent curdling.
  • Add the prosciutto at the end: This will help to prevent it from becoming tough and chewy. You can also add other ingredients at the end, such as peas, asparagus, or grilled chicken.
  • Serve immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This classic Italian dish is a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy sauce, tender pasta, and savory prosciutto, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or family gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal that's sure to please everyone, give this Gemelli Alfredo with Prosciutto a try.
