Creamy Penne With Prosciutto, Pimiento and Peas image

My mother, who was an avid cook, had a stroke 10 years ago and can no longer practice her favorite pasttime. However, she still collects recipes. I go over to her house and cook under her direction. She likes to tweak recipes she has read or seen on TV until she gets them to her liking, and then we write them down. This is one of them!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb penne rigate
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped pimiento
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups finely grated parmesan cheese
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring cream, 1-1/2 cups cheese, pepper and salt just to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain. Return pasta to pot, stir in prosciutto, peas, pimiento and cream sauce, mixing well and making sure pasta is well-coated. Transfer to a 2-quart shallow baking dish and bake 15 minutes.
  • Stir pasta well to redistribute sauce, then sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese (about 2 T.). Turn on broiler and broiler about 2-4 minutes, until top is lightly browned.

Tips:

- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh peas, prosciutto, and crab will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. - If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half and half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy. - To make the sauce even richer, you can add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil. - If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or water instead. However, the white wine will add a nice flavor to the sauce. - Be careful not to overcook the crab. It should be cooked through, but still tender and flaky. - Serve the penne Alfredo with peas, prosciutto, and crab immediately. It's best when it's hot and fresh.

Penne Alfredo with peas, prosciutto, and crab is a delicious and elegant dish that's perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive dish to serve, give this recipe a try.
