Spring Sweet Pea Pasta Salad image

This quick and easy salad can be served as a side dish or a main course. I suggest serving it with sliced apple, sweet gherkins, or cornichons. Nice bread and a glass of white wine wouldn't hurt either!

I'm not usually a fan of sweet peas, but they were surprisingly delicious in this salad. The sweetness of the peas paired well with the salty prosciutto and tangy lemon dressing.
