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.
Farfalle Alfredo

I went to Biaggi’s this past Sunday for dinner, and this is what I had. Seems to be the same recipe they use.
- 1/8 cup prosciutto or bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/8 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced grilled chicken or sliced baked chicken
- 1/8 cup diced roasted red pepper
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup alfredo sauce
- 1/8 cup frozen peas
- 1 1/2 cups cooked farfalle pasta or pasta, of your choice cooked al dente
- 2 tablespoons fresh-grated parmesan cheese (use a 50/50 blend of Parmesan & Romano cheese if possible)
- 2 tablespoons fresh-grated asiago cheese
Fry Prosciutto or bacon in a large skillet for 1-2 minutes; add onions to skillet and continue cooking until Prosciutto is browned; drain any excess fat; add chicken and red peppers to skillet; add chicken stock and deglaze the skillet; add alfredo sauce and gently bring to a boil; add peas.
Meanwhile, refresh the pasta by placing it into boiling water for 30-60 seconds; drain pasta then add it to the skillet; increase heat to high and toss contents of skillet for 20-30 seconds; remove from heat and add cheeses; toss to distribute evenly; serve.
