Ingredients

  • 6 thin slices prosciutto
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, good quality for this recipe
  • 1 red onion, chopped as thin as you can
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup cream (I have been known to use more, up to 3/4 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
  • 250 g salmon, roughly chopped (not too small)
  • 1/4 cup small mint leaf, chopped
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • fresh ground pepper, to serve

Method

  • Place the Prosciutto on an baking tray and grill both sides for 3 minutes, until crispy. Break into shards using your hands - set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil, fry the onion until wilted. Add the garlic and fry until fragrant (about 30-60 seconds).
  • Add the peas cream and lemon (juice and rind). Stir until it JUST comes to the boil and remove from the heat.
  • Add in the salmon, mint and parmesan cheese.
  • Top with the prosciutto.
  • Toss through your pasta and serve.
  • I grind fresh pepper as I am tossing the pasta through.
