Prosciutto with Angel Hair

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 15 Min

Prosciutto, the spicy Italian ham, tastes great just by itself, served with melons or figs as a classic first course, or dished up in a creamy cheese sauce over pasta as we've done here. Try it- you'll love it!

What You'll Need

2 (9-ounce) packages refrigerated angel hair pasta
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound prosciutto, cut into very thin strips
1 (16-ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

What to Do

Prepare pasta according to package directions, omitting salt; drain. Return pasta to pan, and keep warm.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto and Alfredo sauce; cook until heated. Stir in 1/3 cup cheese and pepper. Pour sauce over pasta; toss well. Sprinkle with remaining 2/3 cup cheese. Serve immediately.
