Directions: |
Directions:Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
In a skillet melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the shallot to the melted butter and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cream, peas and prosciutto and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until the peas are heated through. Stir in the lemon zest and the lemon juice and mix.
Pour the sauce over the pasta, add the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Use some of the pasta water to thin the sauce if it is too thick.
Serve immediately. |
