    Fettuccine Alfredo with Peas and Prosciu


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    3 1/2 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth
    2 cups low-fat (1%) milk
    3/4 pound dry fettuccine pasta
    1 (10 ounce) package frozen petite peas
    1 ounce thin-sliced prosciutto
    1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg or ground nutmeg
    Salt and pepper

    Recipe



    1 In a 5- to 6-quart pan, combine broth, milk, and fettuccine (break fettuccine if necessary to fit into pan); cover and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, stirring often to separate noodles, for 5 minutes. Add peas and stir occasionally until pasta is tender to bite, 2 to 4 minutes longer.

    2 Meanwhile, separate prosciutto slices and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.

    3 In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Add to pasta mixture and stir until it boils and thickens. Add sour cream, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste; stir until well blended and heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in prosciutto. Spoon onto plates.
