Creamy Garlic Pasta with Mushrooms and Prosciutto 3/4 cup whipping cream 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon butter 12 ounces crimini or button mushrooms, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 12 ounces penne or other tubular pasta 1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed 8 thin prosciutto slices, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips Bring broth, cream and crushed red pepper to boil in medium saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese; cover and keep warm. Melt butter in large nonstick
skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until brown and tender, about 8
minutes. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water
until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta and return to pot. Add cream
mixture, mushrooms and peas and stir over low heat until well coated with sauce, about 3
minutes. Mix in prosciutto. Cover and let stand 1 minute. Transfer to bowl. Serve, passing
additional Parmesan cheese separately, if desired. Recipe Archives Index |
