Steps:
- 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 zest and juice. 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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this dish. Look for ripe cherry tomatoes, sweet peas, and thinly sliced prosciutto.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Al dente pasta is best.
- Make the lemon-chive sauce while the pasta is cooking: This will save you time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready when the pasta is done.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: You'll need a large pan to cook the prosciutto, peas, and tomatoes. A Dutch oven is ideal because it can also be used to cook the pasta.
- Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a handful of chopped fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
This fettuccine with prosciutto, peas, and lemon-chive sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The bright flavors of the lemon and chives complement the salty prosciutto and sweet peas, and the fettuccine provides a hearty base. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
