Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 shallots, chopped

Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots, garlic, salt, and pepper, and saute until tender, about 1 minute.

My favorite way to make peas - even veggie haters like it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this dish and make it all the time. It is particularly delicious with fettucini alfredo! The only changes that I... suggest are to leave out the parsley and also not add salt (the prosciutto is salty enough). Read more

AWESOME!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am not a big fan of peas, but I can't get enough of this recipe! The only problem I have now if finding fresh Prosciutto... and shallots. I tried the packaged Proscuitto and it was disgusting and expensive! But if you can find these ingredients, this is an amazing quick and easy recipe!Read more

Is it a side?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It was a great use of what I had in the fridge. Let it saute a little too much and it has this delicious char to it.... Substituted rosemary for parsley and it's super fragrant.Read more

Make this!

I was tired and wanted to make a quick dish, so I picked this one. I didn't have prosciutto so I substituted baked ham. ... Dee-lish! It's now one of my favorite dishes.Read more

Yummy!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a great side dish and a fun way to dress up the peas. If you get domestic prosciutto then it's not that expensive,... my husband loved this one.Read more
