Ham and peas pasta also known as ‘Pasta alla Papalina’ is a classic Italian dish. Fettucine pasta, cubes of cured ham, and green peas tossed in onion, cream, and parmesan sauce. While I can’t claim the authenticity of this recipe to the original version, I can assure you that this pasta is delicious and hearty. I have used linguine pasta here and substituted onion with garlic.
Step-by-step instructions to make Ham and Peas Pasta
This is one those recipes, which doesn’t have lots of chopping or longer cooking hours. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights because it’s so quick. The simplicity is a major advantage. By the time your pasta is cooked, you’ll have the sauce ready. I often make frittata, sandwiches with leftover ham. But if you are planning to make a meal out of It then, then try out my Ham Casserole or this amazing pasta recipe. Fresh spring green peas are sweet, and crunchy and add a burst of freshness.
Cook pasta
Bring a pot of water to boil and salt it generously. While the pasta is cooking, saute garlic in butter until aromatic but not brown. By now the pasta would have been done. Toss in the pasta until it is well coated with the sauce.
