Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

1/2 pound gemelli (short pasta twists) or short spiral pasta
2 ounces thinly slice prosciutto
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
fresh ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Fill a 4-quart kettle three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for cooking pasta.

    Step 2

    Chop prosciutto. In a skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté prosciutto, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer prosciutto to paper towels to drain.

    Step 3

    Boil pasta until al dente and drain in a colander. Return pasta to kettle and add remaining ingredients except prosciutto and salt to taste. Cook pasta over low heat, stirring, until butter is melted and sauce coats pasta.

    Step 4

    Serve pasta sprinkled with prosciutto.
