BLACK PEPPER PASTA WITH PEAS AND PROSCIUTTO



BLACK PEPPER PASTA WITH PEAS AND PROSCIUTTO image

Categories     Pasta

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 c semolina flour
1 c all-purpose flour
3 - 4 eggs
3 - 5 tbs extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Freshly cracked/ground black pepper (enough to permeate finished pasta, to taste)
4 c sweet peas
6 - 8 slices prosciutto, cut into 1/2" pieces (or more, if you prefer)
1 - 2 shallots, depending on size, diced
1 c white wine
2 - 3 c chicken stock
Heavy cream to your preference
Flat leaf parsely (optional)

Steps:

  • To prepare the pasta, combine the flours. In a large workspace, create a "bowl" using the flours, with a well in the middle. Crack the eggs into the well; add your olive oil and salt to taste. All your cracked/ground black pepper as well. You should use enough pepper so that the finished pasta is flecked thoroughly. If you are unsure of the amount, mix the pepper into the dry flours prior to adding the wet ingredients to ensure your tastes are met. Using a fork, whisk the eggs and oil together, slowly whisking in the flours. Continue this process until you have mixed all the ingredients together. Knead the dough ball until smooth and pale golden. Allow to rest for 20 minutes. Roll out the pasta and cut into fettucine or tagliatelle. Boil in salted water while the sauce finishes. Heat pan. Render prosciutto just enough to crisp; remove from pan with slotted spoon. Saute shallot in prosciutto fat; add olive oil if needed, but do not use much. Once the onions are soft and starting to turn golden, deglaze the pan with the white wine. Allow the wine to cook down; add the chicken stock and the peas. Heat on high to reduce some and cook peas. The sauce should reduce enough that you do not serve the pasta in a brodo. Adjust seasonings (and remember that your pasta contains pepper). Remove from heat and whisk in heavy cream, to taste (just enough to thicken the sauce some, to allow the sauce to coat the pasta - it should be a very light cream sauce), and butter, if desired. Toss cooked pasta, sauce, and prosciutto. Garnish with flat leaf parsley.

This recipe, courtesy of chef Cesare Casella of Beppe restaurant in New York City, combines just a few simple ingredients for a surprising degree of flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound durum or all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup water
Semolina flour, for dusting
8 cups Homemade Chicken Stock Homemade Chicken Stock, or low-sodium canned
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Prepare the pasta: Mound durum flour on a clean work surface. Make a well in the center. Crack eggs into the well. Add 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. With a fork, whisk the eggs, slowly incorporating the flour. Slowly drizzle the water, one tablespoon at a time, into the egg mixture. When the dough holds together, begin kneading the dough to work in the remainder of the flour. Continue to knead until the dough is smooth, about 10 minutes. Form into a ball, and wrap in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Dust a baking sheet with semolina; set aside. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough crosswise into slices 1/16 inch thick. Using your thumb, press the slices into coinlike pieces. They should be slightly larger than a quarter. Transfer to prepared baking sheet; set aside for 30 minutes to dry.
  • In a large saucepan, bring chicken stock to a boil. Add the reserved pasta, and cook until al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain; reserving stock. In a large saute pan, heat remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the pasta and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Add 1 1/2 cups reserved stock. Bring to a boil, stirring gently to combine. Reduce the heat to medium low, and let simmer for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and parsley; stir to combine. Let simmer for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat, and ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Serve immediately.
