Tagliatelle With Ham And Peas Ingredients

  • 2 cloves of garlic - finely chopped
  • 6-8 thin slices of cooked ham - chopped into small pieces
  • 4 handfuls of frozen peas
  • 125ml double cream
  • handful of finely grated parmesan
  • 350-400g dried tagliatelle
  • salt, pepper and olive oil.

How To Make Tagliatelle With Ham And Peas

Step One

  • Bring to the boil a large pan of water, add a good pinch of salt and a swirl of olive oil, once it’s bubbling add the tagliatelle and frozen peas and allow the pasta to soften, using a spoon make sure it is all completely under the water.

Step Two

  • Bring the pan back to the boil and then turn down to a simmer - keep the lid off. Stir the tagliatelle every few minutes to prevent it from sticking together. Simmer for around 8-10 minutes until cooked.

Step Three

  • Whilst the pasta and peas are cooking add a splash of olive oil to a small pan and gently sizzle the garlic over a low heat to infuse the oil with garlicky flavour - after around 5 minutes pour the cream in and warm through gently.

Step Four

  • Once the pasta and peas are cooked - drain using a colander and then return to the pan - pour in the garlicky cream and toss well to coat, add the chopped ham, grated parmesan and a good sprinkling of black pepper.
