How to make pea and ham pasta
First, if you have chosen fresh peas, shell them, otherwise skip this step.
Then blend the onion very finely and add it to a pan with 3 tablespoons of oil. Let fry for a few seconds, add the diced cooked ham and continue to fry for 1 minute:
Then add the peas, a few mint leaves, turn, leave to brown over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
Finally add 2 ladles of boiling water so that they cover the peas and let them boil.
At that point add the pasta you have chosen. Leave to cook with a lid for about 15 minutes, but the time varies depending on the pasta you have chosen.
If it dries out, add 1 -2 tablespoons of boiling water. At the end of cooking, add 1 drizzle of oil towards the end of cooking, salt and pepper.
It must be creamy and enveloping, not dry!
Pasta with cream, peas and ham
If you like at this point you can add 200 ml of cooking cream, leave and leave to stir for 2 minutes then turn off the heat and add pecorino or parmesan.
