Using spinach and plain (or wheat) linguine gives this dish it's name. It is essentially a carbonaro sauce. It is delicious, quick and simple to make. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
8 ounces prosciutto, chopped |
2/3 cup baby peas (not canned) |
1 cup light cream (heavy cream can be used) |
2 gratings fresh nutmeg |
salt and pepper |
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
1 lb linguine or 1 lb spaghetti, half spinach, half plain or 1 lb wheat |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta as per directions while making sauce. Saute onion in the butter until transparent. Add proscuitto and cook for 5 minutes. Add peas and cook for one minute (peas should be preheated). Add the cream and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken a bit. Then add the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook pasta to al dente. Drain pasta and place in a warm bowl. Add sauce and cheese and mix well. Serve immediately. Spaghetti or any other pasta can be substituted.
