Pasta con Prosciutto en 20 Minutos (Con Brócoli y Ricotta)

Ingredientes

• 4 1/2 ounces pasta (I like bow tie (farfalle) pasta but any is fine)
• 7 ounces broccoli
• 1 1/2 ounces prosciutto (torn into pieces (this is cured Italian ham; or use good quality ordinary ham))
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 lemon ((zest of all of it, juice of half of it))
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 bunch fresh basil
• freshly ground black pepper

Preparación

1. 1

   Cook pasta: Cook your pasta according to the cooking ingredients.

2. 2

   Stir fry broccoli: Meanwhile, pan fry broccoli in a wok or large frying pan for 3 or 4 minutes until lightly browned and slightly tender. Turn off the heat.

3. 3

   Add pasta and rest of ingredients: Drain the pasta and reserve some of the water. Add the pasta to the broccoli in the pan along with the prosciutto, ricotta, the lemon zest and juice, and most of the parmesan and basil. Stir well.
