Recipe Summary Penne Pasta With Peas And Prosciutto

Inspired by depression-era pasta and peas, I decided to do my own take on this meager macaroni. I hope I'm wrong, but I think the next big thing in the food world is going to be these types of 'frugal fabulous' recipes.

Ingredients | Penne Pasta Salad Recipes Easy

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, diced

3 thin slices prosciutto, chopped

3 cloves garlic, sliced

1 teaspoon salt

1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

freshly ground black pepper to taste

6 cups chicken broth

½ cup tomato sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 pound frozen peas, thawed

1 (15 ounce) can white beans, drained

1 (14.5 ounce) package penne pasta

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and prosciutto in hot oil until onion is soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper into onion mixture; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour chicken broth, tomato sauce, and thyme into onion mixture. Add peas and beans; bring to a boil. Stir penne into broth mixture and cook for 7 minutes; remove from heat.

Stir Parmesan cheese into penne mixture, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let sit until the pasta absorbs most of the liquid, about 5 minutes.
