Pasta with Prosciutto and Peas
Prosciutto is easier to slice when it's cold. Stack slices, and cut crosswise with a sharp knife.
"This was an excellent recipe! My son and I loved it. (He's 1.) The only thing I plan to do different next time is to try melting the cheese with the sauce before adding to the noodles. When I added it at the end all the cheese got stuck to my spoon and was extremely difficult to clean. I would also try adding other veggies to see how it tasted." - JoLuMama99Yield: 4 Ready in 45 minutes

Notes Pasta with Prosciutto and Peas Preparation
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot.
Meanwhile, make sauce: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat; add shallot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add cream, peas, and prosciutto; bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Simmer until peas are heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice and zest. Pour sauce over pasta; add Parmesan, and season generously with salt and pepper. Add enough reserved pasta water to thin sauce as desired. Serve immediately; top with additional Parmesan, if desired.
Notes
Great pasta, delicious sauce. Based on online reviews, try it with light cream. Would also be good with a bowtie pasta. When we made it we used whole wheat pasta and we added lemon juice first.. cream just before it was done, so nothing would curdle.
Half recipe to only make what you need.. reheats OK, but is much better the first time around.
