Ingredients
- 5 slices prosciutto - roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion - finely diced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ½ cup reserved pasta water - divided
- 2 packages Trader Joe’s Cacio e Pepe Ravioli
- ½ cup Parmigiano - grated
Instructions
- Fill up a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, add the chopped prosciutto to a large fry pan over medium heat.
- Cook the bits of prosciutto like bacon, stirring every so often until it’s crispy and caramelized.
- Once it’s crispy, remove the prosciutto from the pan and set it aside in a small bowl.
- Add butter and olive oil to the now empty pan and begin to stir - scraping up any remaining prosciutto bits.
- Once melted and bubbling, add the onion, salt and red pepper flakes.
- Stir and continue cooking the mixture until the onions are soft and starting to slightly caramelize - about 5 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking, add the ravioli to the boiling salted water.
- Add the frozen peas to the onion mixture followed by a ¼ cup of the ravioli water.
- Stir this up and cook for 2 minutes so that the peas can heat through.
- Once the raviolis start to float and puff up, immediately remove them from the boiling water and add them directly into the pan (letting a little bit of water drip off) with the pea mixture.
- Grate parmigiano over the top of the pasta.
- Add another ¼ cup of pasta water then gently toss everything together. If it’s dry looking, add another ¼ cup pasta water and stir.
- Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt and fresh cracked pepper before serving.
