Prosciutto, pea & lemon fettuccine

Step 1

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain. Return to pan.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.

Step 3

Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add the cream, lemon rind and lemon juice. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Add the peas and cook for 2 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Add the cream mixture and prosciutto to the pasta and toss to combine. Divide among serving dishes. Sprinkle with the parmesan and basil to serve.
