Categories     Bon Appétit     Salad     Spring     Pea     Prosciutto     Ham     Arugula     Horseradish     Dinner     Side     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups shelled fresh green peas (from about 1 1/4 pounds pods), or frozen peas, thawed
12 ounces sugar snap peas (about 3 cups), trimmed
4 ounces arugula, tough stems removed (about 6 packed cups)
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
Knob of fresh horseradish, peeled (for serving)

Steps:

  • Whisk lemon juice and mustard in a large bowl. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly until emulsified; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  • Working in batches, cook green peas and sugar snap peas in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes per batch. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water and swoosh peas around until cold; this sets their color and halts the cooking. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Add green peas, sugar snap peas, and arugula to bowl with vinaigrette and toss until well coated with dressing; season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange salad on a platter and top with prosciutto. Finely grate horseradish over salad to your liking.

PASTA WITH BACON, SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND RED WINE



Pasta With Bacon, Sugar Snap Peas and Red Wine image

This evolved from my recipe for Carbonara from the Food and Wine pasta cookbook. I was experimenting with ways to cut the cream and eggs and with a couple of other tweaks this is where I ended up! It definitely stands on its own for a meal, particularly if you add more veggies, but I also use it as a side dish at times. Prosciutto works well too but make sure it gets really crispy. With the wine, you are going to add it to the bacon mixture 2 tablespoons at a time.

Provided by Bakabeth

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 lb pasta (I prefer campanelle or fusilli from Barilla)
8 ounces sugar snap peas
8 slices center-cut bacon, chopped
1 -2 large shallot, chopped (should be about 1/2 to 2/3 cup. red onion can be subbed but then up garlic)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2/3 cup red wine (the better the wine, the better the meal!)
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided into two 1/4 tsp
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (I mostly used Kraft Reduced fat with a few tbsp fresh mixed in)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Put on a pot of salted water to boil.
  • Heat up a large skillet over medium. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Add chopped bacon and stir. Let bacon cook about 5 minutes until it starts to brown and bacon grease gets released into pan.
  • Add shallots, garlic, pinch of red pepper flakes and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir and cook until shallots and garlic begin to brown, about 2 more minutes.
  • Add first 2 tbsp of red wine and carefully scrap down the pan to make sure all the little bits are being picked up. Let cook 2-3 minutes and repeat, adding another 1/4 tsp of black pepper.
  • Meanwhile, add pasta to boiling water and cook per instructions. Add sugar snap peas 1 min, 15 seconds before pasta cooking time is up. (This will make them tender crisp. Change cooking time if you like them more/less tender).
  • Repeat the process with the wine until it has all been used, adding additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once all wine has been added, move heat to low/medium low. Add 1 tbsp red wine.
  • Drain pasta/snow peas and add into skillet. If your skillet is not large enough this can be done in a new bowl. Thoroughly combine bacon mixture with pasta, really scrapping the sides of the pan to make sure all the flavors are incorporated.
  • Add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 2 tbsp fresh parsley. Mix again.
  • Serve and enjoy! I usually keep a cup of cheese on the table for people to add more as they see fit.

Tips:

  • Choose tender, young sugar snap peas that are bright green in color.
  • Trim the ends of the sugar snap peas before cooking.
  • Blanch the sugar snap peas in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve their鮮豔 color.
  • Wrap the prosciutto slices around the sugar snap peas before grilling or roasting them.
  • Serve the sugar snap peas and prosciutto as an appetizer or side dish.

Conclusion:

Sugar snap peas and prosciutto are a delicious and versatile combination that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you grill them, roast them, or eat them raw, these two ingredients are sure to please your taste buds. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack or side dish, give sugar snap peas and prosciutto a try!
