Ingredients

Servings
  • 400 g tagliolini pasta (14oz) I used fresh tagliolini from Giovanni Rana. You can also use fettuccine or tagliatelle
  • 150-200 g prosciutto di San Daniele 1 thick slice (5-7oz) or other Italian cured ham
  • 4 lices prosciutto di San Daniele or parma ham cut as thin as possible.

  • 50 g butter (2oz)
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • salt for pasta and to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the thick prosciutto slice into small cubes or juliennes. Dry toast the poppy seeds in a small frying pan until they are fragrant (2-3 minutes). Don’t let them burn. 
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Add salt once it starts to boil and bring to the boil again.
  3. Heat butter in a deep frying pan or skillet. Add the cut pieces of prosciutto and let it saute for 1-2 minutes, until it changes colour. Add the cream, stir and add some of the toasted poppy seeds. Let the cream reduce slightly and then remove from the heat. Add black pepper and salt to taste. 
  4. Cook the tagliolini until al dente according to the instructions on the packet. If fresh or homemade the pasta will cook very quickly.
  5. Drain the tagliolini and add to the pan with the sauce. Stir everything together well and let it cook for a couple more minutes on a low heat, until the sauce is partially absorbed.
  6. Plate the pasta and sprinkle some more poppy seeds on top. Arrange a thin slice of prosciutto on top and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use other pasta ribbons such as fettuccine or tagliatelle instead of tagliolini.
  • This recipe is best made with prosciutto di San Daniele, but other prosciutto crudo such as Parma ham would work too.
