Pasta with Prosciutto, Snap Peas, Mint and Cream

WINNER: Your best recipe for spring peas.

 

★★★★☆

 Difficulty: Easy


Review:  We enjoyed this pasta dish.  After roughly chopping garlic, mint, peas and prosciutto, you add the ingredients to a saucepan. Good one pot meals are hard to find, so this was a winner in my book. I couldn't find fresh snap peas (I think it is a little too early for them), so I purchased English peas instead. 

Tip:  Next time if the store doesn't have snap peas I will just buy frozen.  Shelling takes too long with not that much of an added benefit.

What I learned:  Snap peas can be eaten with the shell on but English peas need to be shelled.

Final Thought:  This dish is pretty heavy so I don't see myself making it too often.  It will be perfect when we are in the mood for some rich comfort springtime food.
