Mmm, dinner.
Ingredients:
12 oz. Fettuccine (I actually prefer long egg noodles if you can find them, TRADER JOE’S!)
1 tablespoon butter
1 large shallot, finely chopped (this is a shallot)

1/4 c. heavy cream
about 2 cups of frozen peas (depending on how much you love the peas.)
8 slices of proscuitto (4 oz./1 cup) thinly sliced
1 large lemon which will turn into:
1 T. lemon zest
1 T. lemon juice
fresh parmasean
Saute the shallot in the tablespoon of butter (in a hot pan) until softened (about 4 minutes) meanwhile boil your pasta (in hot water.)
Add the cream, peas, and proscuitto and cook until peas are warmed through (hot).
Add lemon zest and lemon juice, stir. Stir together with cooked (hot), drained noodles.
Scoop it up, smother it with cheese and eat it, hot of course.

OMGosh, this looks soooo delicious! I’ll have to try a vegetarian version.
P.S. I always wondered what a shallot was! Thanks for the pic!

Mmmmmmm. Peas are one of the two vegetables my son will eat (the other is okra (?)). And I love me some proscuitto.
I worship at Trader Joe’s every Monday during ballet class.

Thanks for the dinner idea! I love to cook, but since this summer has been so busy, I’ve felt less than inspired. This may kick me back into the game! (and OH how I LUV Trader Joe’s…)

That looks so good… I wonder if I can get Hubbz to eat it. Normally he turns his nose up at vegetables in his food…. or vegetables in general. I’ll have to try to sneak this one past him!
