When it comes to pasta primavera, my favorite combination is ham and peas. I know a lot of people don't like peas, but I like to think those people have no souls because peas and pasta goes together like PB&J! Here's my well tested, long loved recipe for Elicoidali con Prosciutto e pisellos. (Elicoidali pasta with peas and ham.) This recipe is incredibly easy to make.

How To Make elicoidali con prosciutto e pisellos

    Add peas and continue to cook on medium heat until just heated through.
  • 3
    Add cream to pot and stir. Bring cream to a scolding temperature.
  • 4
    Slowly add cheese until completely incorporated. Lower pot to a simmer and allow cream to thicken to desired consistency. (I prefer a creamy, slightly loose consistency.
  • 5
    Add Parsley and stir.
  • 6
    salt and pepper to taste.
  • 7
    Meanwhile you should be cooking your pasta to al dente. Once pasta is done cooking, strain and toss with beaten eggs. The heat of the pasta will cook the eggs.
