Cook prosciutto, the Italian salt-cured ham, quickly; it becomes tough if overcooked. Ingredients:
1 (9-ounce) package fresh fettuccine |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
5 cups (1-inch) slices asparagus (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 ounces very thin slices prosciutto, coarsely chopped |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
2. While pasta cooks, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and next 4 ingredients (asparagus through salt). Cover and cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in prosciutto; cook, uncovered, for 1 minute. Combine asparagus mixture, pasta, and cheese in a large bowl, tossing to coat.
