Creamy Lemon Prosciutto Pasta.

Leave a comment

Pasta is my all time favourite meal to make. There are so many different sauces and noodles and toppings. I wanted to make something nice and light for the summer that doesn’t feel too heavy when you eat it.

Ingredients:

2 cups uncooked pasta (any kind) I used spaghetti

1/2 cup of cream

2 Tbsps of butter

1/4 cup of Parmesan

1 Lemon half juice and half zested

Handful of Fresh basil

1 pack of prosciutto

Pepper to taste

1. Start by boiling the water for the pasta and salt it. Add in your pasta and cook until al dente.

2. In a saucepan melt your butter. Add in the cream and Parmesan and whisk until creamy. Add in lemon juice and 1/2 the zest.

3. Once the noodles and sauce are done mix them together and plate.

4. Rip the prosciutto into smaller pieces and place on top the pasta. Add fresh basil on top, cracked pepper and the rest of the lemon zest.

Enjoy!

Baked Mediterranean Feta Pasta.

This Tik Tok Trend is definitely one to try but I like to spice it up and add some new ingredients. I love fresh veggies in the summer and asparagus has been a staple for us this summer and it pairs so well with the creamy feta and roasted cherry tomatoes.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups of cooked pasta
  • 1/4 cup of EVOO
  • 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 bunch of asparagus chopped into 2 inch pieces
  • One 8-ounce block feta
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • A few pinches red pepper flakes
  • 1TBSP basil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup of black olives

Preheat oven to 400F. Add olive oil to a baking dish and toss with whole cherry tomatoes, asparagus, salt and pepper, garlic, chili flakes and basil until everything is coated.

Add the feta in the middle and top with a splash more of olive oil plus a few cranks of fresh pepper. Bake for 30 minutes.

Toss in the pasta and mix until all the pasta is evenly coated. Finish with black olives and season with salt and pepper.
