Trader Joe's Cacio e Pepe Ravioli with Peas and Prosciutto is the culinary darling you've been dreaming of!
Imagine the romance of Italy coming to life on your plate - each ravioli is a little pocket of love, filled with a heavenly mix of pecorino and black pepper that mirrors the iconic Roman pasta dish, Cacio e Pepe.

Servings: 4

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.
