Rich and creamy, this pasta with burrata, peas and prosciutto sounds almost too good to be true.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bucatini pasta

  • 4 eggs

  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley chopped

  • 1/2 cup fresh basil chopped

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • pinch of chili or crushed red pepper flakes

  • 6 tablespoons butter cubed or melted

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen peas thawed

  • 12 slices fresh prosciutto roughly torn

  • 8 ounces burrata cheese

  3. Add the parmesan to the eggs.

  4. Chop and add basil and parsley to the mixture with a pinch of salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk well.

  5. Once pasta is finished cooking, drain and put back into the original pot used to boil.
