Ham And Pea Tagliatelle Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. (Time the pasta so it is done about the same time as the sauce).
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Add ham and peas and cook, stirring occasionally until heated through, about 3 mins or more. Reduce the heat to very low to keep warm.
• Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Return the pasta to the pot.
• Add sauce, salt and pepper to pasta. Toss pasta with enough of the pasta water to make a light sauce.

Steps:

• Add the pasta to a pan of boiling water. Bring back to the boil and simmer fast for 9 minutes, stirring now and then. Add the petit pois for the last 5 minutes. Drain and reserve 4tbsp cooking water. Return to the pan.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil and cook the mushrooms, stirring often.
• Add the chives, ham, creme fraiche and mustard to the mushrooms and heat until simmering.
• Season with pepper and simmer for 1 minute. Add to the pasta with the reserved cooking water and toss together. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan and ground black pepper.
