HEART ATTACK SPECIAL: FETTUCINE ALLA CREMA (less than half an hour)
You will need about:
Cooked fettucine,enough for 2 people. Returned to the pot,off the heat.
4 ozs (125gm) of butter,unsalted is best.
4 ozs good quality prosciutto,paper thin, hand shredded
A cup of cream
About a handful of the best parmesan you can afford,freshly grated.(that means YOU grate it.NEVER buy cheese already grated)
About a handful of snow peas/mange tout,topped and tailed,VERY lightly boiled or steamed;no more than 3 minutes,
Melt the butter in a frypan over a LOW heat..
Add prosciuto and saute for no more than 2 minutes.
Add cream,turn up the heat a bit and allow to thicken fort about a minute.
Remove from heat,stir in the cheese,then the peas.
Add to the pan with fettucine. Serve immediately,with more parmesan at the table.
I like it with crusty Italian bread, salad with lettuce, tomatoes and olives,dressed with olive oil and vinegar. Drink: whatever you like. Goes well with a good Reisling or Chardonay, a nice Cianti or beer.
