If they’re in season, look for fresh peas. And if not, there is no shame in using frozen—it’s one of the few frozen vegetables we can get behind. This recipe is from Evan Funke, chef-owner of L.A.’s pasta temple, Felix Trattoria.

Ingredients

4 servings

1

lb. tagliatelle

cups shelled fresh peas (from about 1½ lb. pods) or frozen peas

½

cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

6

oz. prosciutto, thinly sliced (about 12 slices)

16

sage leaves

2

oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1 cup), plus more for serving

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally and adding peas about 2 minutes before pasta is done, until al dente. Drain pasta and peas, reserving 1½ cups pasta cooking liquid.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat butter in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium until frothy. Tear prosciutto slices into bite-size pieces and add to pot along with sage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until prosciutto is golden brown and beginning to crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit until pasta is done.

    Step 3

    Add pasta, peas, 2 oz. Parmesan, and 1 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid to pot with prosciutto and return to medium heat. Cook, tossing vigorously and adding more pasta cooking liquid if needed, until saucy and pasta is coated, about 30 seconds. Taste and season with more salt if needed.

    Step 4

    Divide pasta among bowls and top with more Parmesan.

  • This was for 3 of us, I used 8 oz rotini, as a result did not need to add any of the pasta water. Only had around 12 sage leaves but would use at least 20 next time as the flavor was too faint but delicious. Added zest of 1 lemon at the end, and as others have mentioned, lots of black pepper. Easy and excellent!

  • Delicious - we added chopped asparagus and added them in the step with peas, cut the recipe in half for two - perfect portions. Good quality cheese is important, and lots of black pepper was a needed addition.

  • This recipe was soooo easy and sooo good. Re-reading it now, I realize that I forgot to slice the Proscuitto and just tore it into pieces and threw it into the butter...oh, well. Still great. This pasta is flavorful, comforting, and has a vegetable in it so it's healthy, right?

  • My wife and I found this recipe to be very disappointing and bland. After dinner, my wife made a separate cream sauce for the leftovers:). I would not recommend it..

  • So good! I didn't have enough prosciutto on hand and had to use some bacon as well, which made it extra fatty, but it was still crazy delicious. I even foraged for the sage, because I'm on lock down and I. Will. Survive. I made fresh pasta which bright it to an 11.
