A web-exclusive recipe from Italian Cooking and Living

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 tablespoons
  • unsalted butter
  • 1/2 pound frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/4 pound Prosciutto Cotto, diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon saffron pistils
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus extra
  • 1 pound garganelli
  • Sauté the onion in the butter until golden and soft, about 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Add the peas and cook 2 more minutes. Fold in the Prosciutto, and cook 1 minute. Add the cream; bring to a boil. Add the saffron; stir to dissolve. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the Parmigiano, and cook 1 more minute.
