Ingredients:
1/2 lb Fasolino's Perciatelli #5
Fasolino's Extra Virgin Olive Oil as needed
1/2 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 large handful prosciutto, cut into ribbons
Salt and pepper
Crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
1/4 cup dry white wine
Grated Parmesan as needed
Directions:
Bring large pot of water to boil, salt aggressively. Boil perciatelli until al dente, about 8-9 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Saute prosciutto until beginning to crisp, then add garlic and shallot. Saute until softened and fragrant. Add spinach and saute all ingredients together until dry. Add wine to deglaze pan, simmer until almost all moisture has evaporated. Add cream, salt and pepper and chili flake and bring back to a low simmer.
Once al dente, drain pasta except for 1/4 c pasta cooking water. Add pasta and water to saucepan with spinach-prosciutto-cream mixture and toss. Simmer while adjusting seasonings. Continue to simmer until mixture begins to thicken. Grate cheese over top and serve.
