Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons salt sea salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces prosciutto thinly sliced or diced
- 1 cup parmigiano reggiano
- 3 egg
- 1 cup English peas thawed, frozen
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a dutch oven or deep skillet and cook the prosciutto over medium-high heat until it is crisp.
- Set prosciutto aside and pour off the oil from the pot saving about 3 tablespoons to add back (if you don't have 3 tablespoons you can add more olive oil to equal 3 tablespoons).
- In a bowl whisk together the eggs and cheese.
- Cook your spaghetti, according to package instructions, in water salted with Sale Marino di Trapani (PGI Italian Sea Salt). When it is cooked to a perfect al dente use a heat-proof measuring cup to reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
- Add the reserved oil back to your dutch oven and heat it over medium heat.
- Once the oil is warm add your cooked and drained pasta, then slowly pour the egg mixture over it stirring and turning the pasta to coat it. If it becomes a little dry add the pasta water, a small amount at a time, to loosen the pasta up.
- Add your prosciutto, English peas, and toss together until the peas are warmed through.
- Serve with a little extra Parmigiano Reggiano and salt and pepper to taste.
