    • A classic dish with a twist, this recipe uses Philadelphia Cream Cheese(tm) to maximize flavor and feel. Melted cream cheese makes a luscious and velvety sauce that is perfectly paired with tender fettuccine. Sweet peas add a textural surprise with a touch of sweetness, while the prosciutto gives that salty and savory finish.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

      • 2 cups half and half
      • 8 ounces cream cheese
      • 1 cup grated Parmesan
      • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
      • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
      • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
      • 1 pound fettucine
      • 1 cup fresh or frozen sweet peas
      • 1/2 cup chopped prosciutto
      • chopped parsley for garnish
      • extra grated Parmesan for garnish

    Directions

    Gather these tools: cutting board, chef's knife, dry and wet measuring cups, measuring spoons, stockpot, colander, large sauce pan, whisk, tongs

    Prepare the fettuccine in a stockpot according to the instructions on the package. Drain, rinse and set aside.

    In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, half and half, Parmesan, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Using a whisk, stir gently and constantly until the cream cheese has melted, about 2 minutes. Continue to simmer over a medium-low heat until the sauce is thick and creamy, about 10 minutes.

    Pour the sauce into the stockpot in which the fettuccine was cooked. Return the cooked pasta to the pot and toss well to coat. Add in the sweet peas and prosciutto and toss well to incorporate.

    Serve immediately with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

    I have several recipes for fettuccine alfrado type dishes. This recipe is extremely simple and amazingly delicious & creamy. I have thrown away my more complicated, gourmet type recipes.In place of prosciutto use bacon, ham, chicken and etc.

    Recipe is OK tasting, but as usual with Kitchen Daily recipes, they are extremely poorly written. If I had not seen the video, I would have no idea when to put in the peas or the proscuitto in this recipe. KD step up to the plate to be professional!

    ONE cup of peas mixed with 4 1/4 cups of artery clogging FAT, and the registered nurse actually comments, "That looks healthy." Oh brother...
