How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Prosciutto And Peas

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
2. While the pasta cooks, mince the shallot and slice the prosciutto.
3. Return the drained pasta to the pot; toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Melt butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and white wine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Add the frozen peas and cook until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Stir in the prosciutto and half of the Parmesan cheese. Cook for 1 minute, until the prosciutto is slightly crisp.
8. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat everything evenly. Add a little reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
9. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil (optional).
