Preparation |
How to make the Spaghetti with Peas and Prosciutto di Parma ®:
Cut Prosciutto di Parma ® into small pieces. Finely chop the garlic and
coarsely chop the parsley.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. When the
oil is warm, add the Prosciutto di Parma ® and the chopped ingredients
and saute for five minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
Add fresh or frozen peas to the saucepan and saute for 10 minutes. Start
adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time. Simmer, adding more broth as needed
until the peas are soft. If fresh peas are used, cover saucepan while
simmering. Season with salt and pepper.
To cook the pasta, bring a large pot of water to boil over medium heat,
adding salt to taste. When water comes to full boil, add the pasta and
cook for eight to ten minutes.
Drain the pasta and add it to the saucepan. Mix very well. Cook for one
minute more, mixing continuously, while the pasta absorbs some of the
sauce. Transfer to a large warmed serving platter and sprinkle with
parsley leaves. Serve hot.
