It just doesn't get much easier or tastier than this! Supper is ready fast as it takes to boil water and cook the pasta! Add a tossed green salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette and crusty bread to complete the meal.

Fettuccine with Cream, Prosciutto and Peas
 
1/4 cup butter
2 cups whipping or heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas
6 ounces prosciutto, cut into slivers (or cooked ham)
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese *
1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound fettuccine pasta
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cream and bring to a boil. Cook 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat to reduce and thicken slightly.
  2. Add peas and prosciutto (or ham) and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
  4. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine according to package directions; drain well and add to sauce mixture. Toss to combine and serve immediately sprinkled with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Makes 8 servings.

* Use only freshly grated Parmesan, do not use canned cheese as it will not melt properly and it simply does not compare in taste to fresh Parmesan.
