Omg, like, this is definitely one of my fave meals ever! It's from this italian recipe book that I actually got quite a whime back and just never made anything from it. One day me and a friend decided we should cook dinner by ourselves (which is a really fun thing to do) and we made this. It is so good! I hope you enjoy it as much as me and my parents did!!
Ingredients
14 ounces dried tagliatelle (I'm just following the book here, make as much as you think you'll need, or follow this link to make your own https://culinaryginger.com/homemade-tagliatelle-pasta/
1 onion or 2 scallions
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 3/4 cups shelled fresh peas (or frozen peas if you don't have fresh)
2 slices cooked ham
scant 1/2 cup double cream
1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese
Method
Using the bridge and claw cutting techniques, chop the onion or scallions. Heat the butter and oil in a pan over low heat. Add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes until really soft. Stir every now and then with a wooden spoon.
Add the peas, stir to coat them in the buttery juices, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring every now and then with a wooden spoon. Using kitchen scissors, snip the ham into small pieces.
Add the cream to the pan and cook for another five minutes, then add the ham.
Three-quarters fill a large pan with water and bring to a boil. Add the fresh tagliatelle and cook for 3–4 minutes until the pasta is just cooked. It should be soft and not taste raw. Drain the pasta in a colander and put it back into the empty pan.
Ladle the sauce over the pasta in the pan. Carefully grate the Parmesan using the small holes of a grater and sprinkle over the pasta. Mix together, and serve right away!
