I'll pass on this one. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

Not my favorite. The flavors just didn't come together for me.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce curdled and the pasta was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sauce was a little bland for my taste and the prosciutto was a bit too salty.

This pasta is so good! I love the combination of creamy peas and salty prosciutto. It's a really easy dish to make, too.

I'm not usually a fan of peas, but this dish changed my mind! The creamy sauce and salty prosciutto really balanced out the sweetness of the peas. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen peas and pre-cooked prosciutto, which made it even quicker. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

I made this recipe for dinner last night and it was a hit with my family! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I especially liked the addition of prosciutto, which added a nice salty touch.
