Pasta Alfredo with Proscuitto, Peas, and Caramelized Onion


This is a slight modification to a dinner I had recently at Biaggis.  Enjoy!

  • 1 lb box pasta
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz proscuitto
  • 1 cup cooked peas
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan and/or romano cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to directions on box.  Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat.  Add onions and small amount of salt.  Caramelize onions to desired color.  Add proscuitto and garlic.  Cook for about 2 minutes.  Add heavy cream and peas.  Cook for another 2 minutes.  Add cheese and allow to melt.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Mix pasta and sauce.  Serve immediately.
