Gemelli with Prosciutto and Peas


  • Author: Kate Romane

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 pound Gemelli pasta
  • 1 1/2 cup English peas (quick blanched in salted water)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Sauté the prosciutto with butter for 5 minutes, or until prosciutto starts to release into the butter.
  2. Add heavy cream and small pinch of nutmeg (a little goes a really long way). Bring cream to a slow boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce until cream starts to thicken. Turn off heat, and set aside.
  4. In another pot, boil water. Add salt. Boil pasta al dente. Strain.
  5. Toss hot pasta with cream sauce and peas. Top with cracked pepper, Parmesan, and chopped parsley.
