Excerpt
Fettuccine with Prosciutto and Peas *Chuck’s personal recipe
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1⁄2 cup (21⁄2 oz/75 g) finely chopped yellow onion
4–6 thin slices prosciutto, cut into narrow strips
1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) heavy (double) cream
Salt
2 cups (10 oz/315 g) shelled young, tender peas
1 lb (500 g) fresh or dried fettuccine
1⁄2 cup (2 oz/60 g) grated
Parmesan cheese
*Makes 6 servings
Bring a large pot three-fourths full of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the prosciutto and cream and simmer, stirring, for 3–4 minutes longer. Season with salt, remove from the heat, and keep warm.
Add 1tablespoon salt, the peas, and the pasta to the boiling water. (If using dried pasta, add the peas when the pasta is almost done.) Stir a few times to separate the pasta and keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cook, stirring once or twice, until al dente, about 2 minutes for fresh pasta or 8–10 minutes for dried, or according to the package directions.
Just before the pasta is ready, return the sauté pan to high heat. Drain the pasta, add it to the sauté pan, and toss briefly until well blended with the sauce. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl or individual plates and serve right away. Pass the Parmesan cheese at the table.
