Creamy Prosciutto Pasta image

I'm always looking for dinners that I can put together quickly. I re-created a favorite pasta dish from an Italian restaurant by using grocery store convenience products. Add crusty bread and a salad for a complete meal. -Christine Ward, Austin, Texas

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.

Provided by Food Network

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.

Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup purchased Alfredo sauce
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 cups canned diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings, undrained
4 (about) no-boil lasagna noodles from one 8-ounce package
1 1/3 cups mixed roasted vegetables from deli (such as eggplant, squash and bell peppers)

Steps:

  • Stir Alfredo sauce, prosciutto and basil in small bowl to blend. Spread 2 tablespoons Alfredo sauce mixture in bottom of two 1 1/2-cup oval-shape gratin dishes or two 2-cup soufflé dishes. Top each with 1/4 cup tomatoes with juices. Place 1 noodle in each dish, breaking into pieces to fit. Spread each with 2 tablespoons sauce mixture, then 1/4 cup tomatoes with juices. Top each with 2/3 cup roasted vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Make another layer of noodles, breaking to fit. Top with remaining sauce mixture, dividing equally. Top each with 1/4 cup tomatoes with juices.
  • Cover dishes tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high until noodles are tender but still firm to bite, about 10 minutes. Uncover lasagna and let stand 5 minutes before serving

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Use fresh, flavorful tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. Good quality prosciutto and Alfredo sauce will also make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the prosciutto, make sure to give it enough space so that it can crisp up properly. If you crowd the pan, the prosciutto will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the prosciutto until it is crispy. This will give it a nice texture and flavor. Just be careful not to overcook it, or it will become tough.
  • Make sure the Alfredo sauce is creamy and flavorful. You can use a store-bought Alfredo sauce, but it is easy to make your own. Just be sure to use good quality ingredients and cook it until it is thick and creamy.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Prosciutto with Alfredo sauce is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto with Alfredo sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its combination of salty prosciutto, creamy Alfredo sauce, and fresh vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
