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!

I'm not a fan of pimiento, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less prosciutto or omitting it altogether.

The creamy sauce was too thick for my liking. I would recommend using less cream or adding some milk to thin it out.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to give it more flavor.

The creamy sauce was delicious and the prosciutto was crispy and salty. I would recommend adding some red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
