Dinner Tonight: Orecchiette With Peas, Prosciutto, And Crème Fraîche Recipe

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salty water to boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, stirring occassionally to prevent sticking.

2. 2

   In the meantime, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the garlic. Cook for a couple minutes until fragrant but not browned, then reduce the heat to medium and add the peas, cooking for a few seconds, then add the creme fraiche and kosher salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until warmed through.

3. 3

   Reserving 1/3 cup of the pasta water, drain the pasta and add it while still wet to the skillet. Toss well with the sauce and add the pasta water to create a loose sauce. Turn the heat to high and cook for 2 minutes as the sauce melds with the pasta.

4. 4

   Transfer to bowls and top with any sauce left in the skillet. Lay the prosciutto and basil leaves on top. Serve immediately.
