PASTA WITH HAM, PEAS AND CREAM

I seem to remember that when I lived in Florence this pasta - with the cream, the peas, the ham - went under the name "alla Medici". After another long weekend with the little angels, the designation seems indecently appropriate.

Ingredients

  • Express Recipe
  • Nigella Recipe
  • 200g farfalle or other short pasta
  • 100g frozen petits pois
  • 150ml double cream
  • 150g diced ham
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Method

  1. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions in plenty of salted boiling water, and then after 5 minutes add the peas to the pasta water.
  2. When the pasta is cooked, drain with the peas.
  3. Put the dry pan back on the heat with the cream, ham and Parmesan and warm it through.
  4. Add the pasta and peas back to the pan, tossing everything together well.
