  • Strain the pasta from the water once it is cooked, and place in a large heat resistant bowl. Pour the sauce over the pasta and sprinkle with the cheese and the parsley. Use tongs are two large forks to stir the sauce into the pasta and serve while hot.

PASTA WITH PEAS, PROSCIUTTO AND LETTUCE



Pasta With Peas, Prosciutto and Lettuce image

Since I began eating more plants and less meat, I've experimented with using small amounts of meat in ways that exploit its flavor without making it central to the dish. In this recipe - pasta with spring vegetables - the meat is literally a garnish, but one with huge impact. That meat is prosciutto, and it's briefly cooked in a bit of oil, which accomplishes two things: It intensifies the ham's salty, meaty flavor, and it makes the prosciutto crisp, turning it into a nice textural foil for the tender pasta, peas and lettuce. You do need three pans to make this dish - a small skillet, a large skillet and a large pot for the pasta - but it's so fast that a little extra cleanup seems worth the trouble.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips
1 pound pasta
2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, minced
Black pepper to taste
2 cups peas, fresh or frozen
1 head Bibb or Boston lettuce (about 6 ounces), cored, leaves cut into 3/4-inch slices
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock or dry white wine, more as needed
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil and salt it. Meanwhile, put one tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add prosciutto and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes; set aside.
  • When water boils, add pasta and cook until just tender; drain pasta, reserving some cooking liquid. Meanwhile, melt butter with remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and sprinkle with salt and pepper; cook until shallot begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add peas, lettuce and stock or wine to skillet and cook until peas turn bright green and lettuce is wilted, about 5 minutes. Add pasta to pan and continue cooking and stirring until everything is just heated through, adding extra stock or some reserved cooking liquid if needed to moisten. Toss with Parmesan cheese, garnish with prosciutto, adjust seasoning to taste and serve.

PASTA WITH LEEKS, PEAS, AND PROSCIUTTO



Pasta with Leeks, Peas, and Prosciutto image

Spring into summer with this seasonal twist on a spaghetti supper. Just boil, toss, and top with shavings of cheese.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and ground pepper
12 ounces spaghetti
4 tablespoons butter
2 medium leeks (6 to 8 ounces each), white and light-green parts only, halved lengthwise and cut into 2-inch pieces, well rinsed
1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 ounces (about 1/4 cup) thinly sliced prosciutto cut into thin strips
2 ounces (about 1/3 cup) ricotta salata or Parmesan cheese shaved with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot.
  • While pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium. Add leeks; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add peas; cook, stirring, until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To drained pasta, add leek mixture, remaining 3 tablespoons butter, lemon juice, and prosciutto; season with salt and pepper. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time, tossing, until a thin sauce coats pasta. (You may not need all the water.) Serve, sprinkled with ricotta salata.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh pasta. If you don't have a pasta maker, you can find fresh pasta at most grocery stores.
  • Use high-quality prosciutto. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a deep red color.
  • Use frozen peas for convenience. If you use fresh peas, be sure to blanch them before adding them to the pasta.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pasta. The pasta should have enough room to move around so that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the prosciutto and peas to the pasta towards the end of the cooking time. This will prevent them from overcooking.
  • Season the pasta to taste with salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

This fresh pasta with prosciutto and peas is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of salty prosciutto, sweet peas, and creamy sauce is delicious and satisfying. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover pasta.
