Quick and easy pasta dish
Cut the prosciutto into small pieces and finely chop the herbs.
Cook and drain the pasta, saving out 1/4 cup of pasta water.
Put the pasta back into the pan and add the butter. Heat until it's melted. Stir in the cream and a lot of fresh cracked pepper.
Add the pasta water, lemon juice, prosciutto and herbs, stirring constantly. Simmer to let it thicken just a bit.
When it's all warmed, add the parm and stir until it's melted.
Serve hot with more parmesan on the top and some torn, fresh basil.
I used campanelle noodles. The sauce gets caught in the curls and ruffles, making it easy to get a bite of everything. Any kind of curled noodle will work - orecchiette or shells will also work well.
