Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 small onion, diced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
4 ounces prosciutto, cut into strips
1 lb young tender asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions, drain and put pack into the warm pot.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Cook onion, garlic and mushrooms until fragrant and semi done. Add Prosciutto and asparagus and cook until asparagus is bright green, about 3 minute
  • Add cream, 1/3 cup cheese, salt and pepper and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until sauce has thickened, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour sauce with vegetables over pasta and toss to coat.
  • Top with additional parmesan cheese and, if desired, prosciutto chips (see recipe description).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and not too salty, and Parmesan cheese that is freshly grated.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be sure to save some of the pasta cooking water. This water can be used to help create a creamy sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the prosciutto. Cook it in batches if necessary, so that it gets crispy and doesn't steam.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese to the pasta sauce gradually, stirring constantly, until the sauce is creamy and coats the pasta.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.

Conclusion:

This prosciutto Parmesan pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. With its simple ingredients and flavorful sauce, it's a dish that you'll want to make again and again.
