Spaghetti With Creamy Pea Sauce

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0F Arrange prosciutto slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until crispy, 8-10 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente.

3. 3

   While the spaghetti cooks, melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Sweat shallots until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until peas are soft and bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer to blender or food processor. Add cream and process until smooth.

4. 4

   Pour puree into a sieve placed over the skillet. Press puree through with the back of a wooden spoon or a spatula (discard anything left in the sieve). Warm puree over low flame. Season well with salt, pepper and optional nutmeg.

5. 5

   Drain pasta and toss with sauce. Crumble prosciutto over the top and serve.
