Stages of cooking
-
Pour water into a pot, add salt and bring it to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water until it becomes al dente.
-
Add olive oil into a non-stick frying pan and put the pieces of prosciutto inside. Cook on medium fire and turn onto another side in a few minutes. Remove the pan from heat as soon as it is ready.
-
Leave one cup of pasta water in a separate bowl. Add the peas instead and cook for one minute.
-
Strain the pasta and the peas. Add the ingredients to the pan with the prosciutto. Then add parmesan and toss to coat. Season with salt and black pepper.
-
Now, add 0.5 cup of pasta water and fresh baby arugula with mint. If needed, add more pasta water and sauté for a few minutes.
-
Drizzle and mix with 2 tablespoons of olive oil before serving. Enjoy!
