Pasta with Proscuitto, Leeks & Mushrooms

lostkat · 28-08-2007, 19:59

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Yummity Yum and VERY hard to mess up! It's not very imaginative, but it hits the spot and me/him both love it. Sorry no photos, it needs to be eaten right away

Serves 2

Ingredients
150g Pasta shapes
1-2 tbsp olive oil
125g prosciutto or bacon, roughly cubed (I used a big piece of smoked bacon that Leon bought on the German market in Chester)
1 leek, finely sliced
125g mushrooms (I used chesnut mushrooms)
3-4tbsp creme fraiche
salt & pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley

Recipe
Put the pasta on to boil for 8-10 mins.

Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the prosciutto pieces until they are golden. Add the leeks and mushrooms and fry for about 5 mins until the leeks are tender. Add the drained pasta to the pan and stir everything together. Next, add the creme fraiche, season with salt and pepper and stir everything together.

Dish out into bowls and artistically sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.

Serve with some freshly grated parmesan and nice bread.

Bellissimo!

N.B. You can vary the veg if you like - It doesn't have to be leeks & mushrooms.. anything will do really. Mini sweetcorn, mange tout etc.

Ooooh that sounds good! I might have a go at that at the end of the week while the parents are away so I don't have to fight for kitchen space or people going 'Oooh wassat?'.

The thread does need pictures though

Boo... I canny have it... it has creme fraiche in it which = a big no no for my diet.

This is the kind of thing I need to make tomorrow. I had a fat day today - large Sloppy Giuseppe pizza, cream scone, Ben and Jerry's Phish Food, and beer. I feel a little uneasy.

Sounds gooooood. I did something very similar the other day but without the leeks. I tend to use about 250g of pasta for myself though

OMG! I obviously had some kind of weird psychic connection with your eating pattern yesterday! When plonked on my sofa I grumpily said to dodge:

"I soooo want to eat a big fattening pizza all to myself and cake and Ben and Jerrys Phish Food. mmmmmm."

You ate my dream food!

And very tasty it was too! The thing is, I bought too much, so I had to have the second scone for breakfast this morning and I have leftover pizza for lunch. Might finish the ice-cream when I get home!

Sounds scrumptious Kate. Must try it when I get home
