Garden fresh peas make the difference in this pasta dish. If you can't get fresh, frozen will be a good replacement.

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have any prosciutto on hand. Do you think I could substitute another type of ham?

This dish is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less prosciutto next time.
