This recipe is a great way to use up leftover peas. I always have a bag of frozen peas in my freezer, so this is a go-to recipe for me.

I made this dish in my Instant Pot and it turned out perfectly. It was so quick and easy, and the flavors were just as good as if I had made it on the stovetop.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used shirataki noodles instead of angel hair pasta. It was a great way to enjoy this dish without all the carbs.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the prosciutto for grilled zucchini. It was still delicious!

I found this recipe to be a bit too rich. Next time, I'll use less cream and butter.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little more flavor.
