Steps:
- Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, steam the peas over an inch of boiling water for 4 minutes, until just tender. Transfer to a bowl. Add the pea shoots to the steamer and steam 2 minutes, until just wilted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until you can handle them. Do not discard the steaming water; pour it into a measuring cup. Squeeze out excess water from the pea greens and chop medium-fine. You should have about 1 cup chopped leaves and tender stems.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and add the chopped spring onion or scallions. Cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the pea shoots and stir together for about a minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the peas, tarragon and parsley and about 1/4 cup of the steaming water and heat through.
- When the water in the pot comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook al dente, using the timing instructions on the package as a guide but checking the pasta a minute before the time indicated is up. When the pasta is ready, using a ladle transfer 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water to the pan with the peas and pea shoots. Drain the pasta and toss at once with the vegetables and Parmesan. Serve hot.

CREAMY PENNE WITH PROSCIUTTO, PIMIENTO AND PEAS
My mother, who was an avid cook, had a stroke 10 years ago and can no longer practice her favorite pasttime. However, she still collects recipes. I go over to her house and cook under her direction. She likes to tweak recipes she has read or seen on TV until she gets them to her liking, and then we write them down. This is one of them!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring cream, 1-1/2 cups cheese, pepper and salt just to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain. Return pasta to pot, stir in prosciutto, peas, pimiento and cream sauce, mixing well and making sure pasta is well-coated. Transfer to a 2-quart shallow baking dish and bake 15 minutes.
- Stir pasta well to redistribute sauce, then sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese (about 2 T.). Turn on broiler and broiler about 2-4 minutes, until top is lightly browned.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe peas, sweet prosciutto, and a good quality olive oil.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Reserve some of the pasta cooking water. The starchy pasta cooking water can be used to thicken the sauce and make it more flavorful. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
- Use a large skillet. A large skillet will give the peas and prosciutto room to cook evenly. If you use a small skillet, the ingredients will overcrowd and not cook properly.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the other seasonings as desired. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
This penne with peas and prosciutto is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The combination of sweet peas, salty prosciutto, and creamy sauce is irresistible. Serve with a side salad and crusty bread for a complete meal.
