It’s a bit of a naughty dish, but these ingredients just work so well together… it’s a classic pasta loved by kids, enjoyed across Italy, sometimes even served with tortellini! It can be made with frozen peas, but it really makes sense to make this recipe in spring when fresh peas are at their best, crunchy and sweet. The name – panna, prosciutto e piselli – literally translates to cream, ham and peas.

I want to be able to buy that pasta that’s in with the Piselli. I got that pasta and a gift pack and OMG it was the best I have ever eaten. I want more of that pasta.
