Fettucine with Prosciutto and Peas

This is definitely not an original. You can find this combination on almost any pasta or Italian restaurant menu. Hey, why mess with a good thing?

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 cup good quality Romano cheese
• 1 lge egg yolk beaten
• sliced prosciutto (you can use bacon or just skip the prosciutto if necessary)
• frozen peas
• fettucine

In a small sauce pan melt the butter. Add cream. Add the grated Romano and melt. Slowly add the egg yolk - careful not to scramble the egg! Put the pasta on to boil. Remember: the sauce waits for the pasta, the pasta NEVER waits for the sauce. Just before pasta is done add frozen peas to sauce and stir just until peas are defrosted and warmed through. Pour over drained pasta. Sprinkle with sliced prosciutto and serve with a huge red leaf lettuce salad and wine. MMMMMMMM fattening ;)
