Pasta mit Prosciutto

Zutaten

• 8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
• 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/3 cup frozen peas
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Boil pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

2. 2

   Crisp prosciutto: While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove prosciutto and set aside on a paper towel.

3. 3

   Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. 4

   Simmer sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add frozen peas. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

5. 5

   Crumble prosciutto: Crumble the crispy prosciutto and add half back into the skillet, saving some for garnish.

6. 6

   Toss pasta: Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, tossing to coat with the cream sauce.

7. 7

   Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with remaining crispy prosciutto and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
