Ingredients
- ¼ lb. prosciutto di Parma sliced into narrow strips, PDO
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- ¼ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese freshly grated, PDO
- basil garnish, fresh chopped
- parsley garnish, fresh chopped
Instructions
- Cook penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add prosciutto and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring a couple of times. The prosciutto should be browned all over and slightly crispy.
- Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened and reduced by at least one-third (about 3-4 more minutes).
- Toss the cream sauce with the cooked penne, stir in grated cheese, and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil and extra cheese, if desired.
Notes
- This recipe yields 2 very large servings, or 4 smaller servings. If you're cooking for a big family, I suggest doubling the recipe.
