Tagliatelle prosciutto and peas



Today we are going to prepare tagliatelle with prosciutto and peas, starting from homemade pasta. I always like to knead and, with the help of the pasta machine, if you have to prepare tagliatelle for 5/6 people, it's not a big job, believe me, it's done quite quickly. The first course of fresh pasta that everyone likes at the table! The dressing is super quick and too tasty! Now follow me in the recipe that I show you how to prepare them!

Ingredients for 4 people

240 gr. flour 
60 gr. durum wheat semolina
3 eggs
rice flour
1 shallot
400 gr. peas
130 gr. cooked  prosciutto in a single slice
salt and pepper
extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp cream cheese
20 gr. butter
milk

Preparation

Let's start with the pasta.

Pour the flour and semolina onto the work surface and break the eggs in the center, then begin to knead. Mix the ingredients well until you get a homogeneous mixture. If we have a pasta machine, it will not be necessary to knead it too much, because, passing the dough several times between the rollers set at the widest point, it will become, however, nice and smooth. At this point I tighten the space between the rollers (1 tooth at a time) and pass the dough 2 times for each position until I get to point 6 (then it depends on the thickness of the dough that everyone prefers). Now we can use the rollers for the tagliatelle, then cut the dough and pour a little rice flour over it to prevent it from sticking. The tagliatelle with ham and peas are ready. If you like, you can sprinkle them with parmesan cheese. 

Now let's think about the dressing.

Sauté the finely chopped shallot in oil and the diced ham in a pan. Add the peas, salt and pepper and cook, gradually adding water until the peas are tender, about 30 minutes. Before turning off the heat, cook for another 5 minutes, adding the cream cheese and a little milk to the peas to obtain a creamier sauce. When the water boils, throw in the noodles; Drain them and pour them into the pan, adding a knob of butter and a ladle of cooking water. The tagliatelle with ham and peas are ready. If you like, you can sprinkle them with parmesan cheese.
