Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil (plus more for serving, optional)
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (cut across into 1/4-inch slices)
6 cloves garlic (smashed and peeled)
1 1/2 cups frozen peas (thawed)
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound fusilli lunghi or cavatappi pasta
2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (plus more for serving)

Steps:

  • This recipe originated on Giada In Italy: Episode: Flavors of Capri.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat. Add the chopped prosciutto and cook, stirring constantly, until crispy and deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the prosciutto to a paper towel-lined plate. Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic to the oil and cook, stirring often, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the peas, pepper flakes and 1/8 teaspoon salt and turn off the heat.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling salted water and cook for 2 minutes less than package directions, about 9 minutes.
  • Return the skillet with the garlic oil to medium heat. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add directly to the skillet with the oil. Sprinkle the bare pasta with 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Add 1/2 cup pasta water and toss well to coat the pasta and form a creamy sauce. Add the remaining 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and up to 1/2 cup more pasta water to maintain a creamy sauce. Serve sprinkled with the crispy prosciutto, more Parmigiano-Reggiano and another drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful prosciutto, and a good quality olive oil.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pasta, be sure to use a large enough pan so that the pasta has plenty of room to move around. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Season the pasta water: Adding salt to the pasta water helps to flavor the pasta. Be sure to use enough salt so that the water tastes slightly salty.
  • Reserve some pasta water: When draining the pasta, reserve some of the pasta water. This water can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the finished dish.
  • Use a flavorful olive oil: The olive oil that you use in this dish will have a big impact on the flavor of the finished dish. Choose a flavorful olive oil that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in this dish should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Add the prosciutto at the end: The prosciutto should be added to the dish at the very end, so that it does not overcook and become tough.

Conclusion:

This Aglio e Olio with Peas and Prosciutto is a simple, yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The combination of salty prosciutto, sweet peas, and flavorful olive oil is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread to soak up all of the delicious sauce.
