Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until just tender. While pasta cooks, combine peas and 1 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until peas are thoroughly heated; drain and set aside.

Drain pasta; return to pot and toss with butter. Add peas, prosciutto and cream. Toss to mix well and to separate prosciutto strips. Season with salt and pepper. Add Parmesan to taste, and toss again.
