1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water (about 2 liters) to a boil over high heat.

2

Once the water is boiling, add the pasta (250 grams) and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

3

While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pan, melt the butter (30 grams) over medium heat.

4

Add the cream (200 milliliters) to the melted butter, stirring gently. Allow it to heat but do not let it boil.

5

Chop the prosciutto (150 grams) into strips and add to the cream sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.

6

Once the pasta is ready, reserve a cup of pasta water and then drain the rest.

7

Add the drained pasta to the cream and prosciutto sauce. Mix well, adding some reserved pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

8

Season with salt (1 teaspoon) and black pepper (1 teaspoon) to taste, then stir everything together until well combined.

9

Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.
