Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

Omit

4 cloves of garlic

Swap

1 pound asparagus for the zucchini

Add

1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1/4 pound prosciutto, chopped or shredded

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the pasta as directed for the master recipe, #304.

    Step 2

    Halve each stalk of asparagus lengthwise, then cut into 2-inch pieces. Sauté the shallot with the garlic as above, then add the asparagus and cook for 5 minutes.
