Garganelli with Cream, Ham & Peas
Report
This delicious meal is an underrated rolled Italian fresh pasta. While this is often eaten as an oven baked casserole, in this recipe we present a tasty variation.

Ingredients
- 1 pound garganelli fresh or store bought
- 1 ½ cups peas frozen
- ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano freshly grated
- 4 oz. ham thinly sliced cut into 1-inch squares
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 fresh mint leaves torn (optional)
Instructions
- In a large 12 inch skillet add the cream and and cook over medium heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes and then turn off the heat. Add the Parmigiano Reggiano and season with salt and pepper.. Stir and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and the peas together and boil until the pasta is al dente (which means still firm but not hard and definitely not mushy).
- Drain pasta and peas and set aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water to use later.
- Add the pasta and peas to the cream mixture and cook on medium heat until it coats the pasta (about 2 minutes), occasionally stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Fold in the prosciutto and mint (if desired, mint is optional).
- Add some of the pasta water you set aside (if necessary) if the sauce is too dense.
- Serve hot topped with some additional grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
Notes
- Fresh homemade garganelli will be ready in just 3-4 minutes. Dry garganelli will take about 7-8 minutes, but read the instructions on the packaging as cooking times can vary.
