Pea, feta, and crispy prosciutto salad
Delight your taste buds with this refreshing pea salad topped with tangy feta cheese and crispy prosciutto for the perfect combination of flavors and textures.
Ingredients:
- 340g penne or other short pasta
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 110g prosciutto, torn
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 140g baby spinach
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 90g Parmesan cheese, grated (about ¾ cup)
Instructions:
- Prepare the pasta following the instructions on the package. Once cooked, drain the pasta and save a half cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine olive oil and prosciutto. Stir and cook until the prosciutto becomes crispy, approximately 4 minutes. Use tongs to transfer the prosciutto to a plate. Add garlic to the skillet and cook for half a minute. Then, mix in spinach, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Cook and stir until the spinach wilts, which takes about 2 minutes.
- Combine the cooked pasta, reserved pasta water, and half of the cheese in the skillet. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the pasta, usually around 1 minute. To finish, sprinkle the prosciutto and the rest of the cheese on top.
