Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup finely minced onion
4 ounces prosciutto, julienne
1 cup heavy cream
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh peas
6 ounces fresh egg fettuccine
6 ounces fresh spinach fettuccine
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

In a large stockpot, bring salted water to a rapid boil.

In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add the onions and saute until translucent, but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the prosciutto and cook 1 more minute, stirring. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce is just thick enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Add the peas and remove from the heat.

Cook the pasta to al dente. Return the sauce to the heat. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss well and season with salt and pepper. Finish with parmesan and more cracked black pepper.

My kids love this. I only changed one thing. Instead of the proscuitto, I use sliced boars head ham and i cut up into... pieces like the proscuitto.Read more

peas
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Thought this had really great taste but my one problem with the recipe is that the peas were almost raw. Next time I will... either simmer the peas with the sauce for a few minutes or lightly steam them before adding to sauce.Read more

just ok
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I thought this pasta was just good. Not great. I think it had a bit too much onions. It overpowered everything else. And... I like onions! My kids didn't care for it at all.Read more
