Alfredo Pasta with Spring Peas and Prosciutto

Do you like cookbooks?   I always like the simple ones.  I chose this outdoor cooking by Katie Brown for that reason and decided to make the Alfredo Pasta and share it with you.  It was only $9.00 at Tuesday Mornings.

Services 8

1 pound dried linguini                                                                                         

1 tablespoon olive oil

t tablespoon butter

1/2 lb. thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped into 1-2 inch pieces

1 medium onion

l lb. fresh peas ( I used frozen)

3 cloves garlic ( I used 5)

1 jar Alfredo sauce

salt and pepper

1.2 cup Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons chopped parsley

1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook linguini until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain pasta and set aside.

2. In a large nonstick sauté pan , heat olive oil with 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat.  Add prosciutto, onion, and garlic.  Cook until onion is translucent, then mix in peas.

3. Heat Alfredo sauce in small saucepan until warmed through.

4. In a large bowl, toss pasta, prosciutto, vegetables, and Alfredo sauce.  Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with Parmesan and parsley.
