Record setting pasta

I keep sending Alex at Blog From Italy recipes for fast, fast, lightning fast pasta recipes and he keeps promising to make them and publish his results. The scurvy dog hasn’t made one yet.

Here's one his five year old child can make in ten minutes.

Prosciutto and cream pasta

for one serving

1 ounce or 30 g prosciutto, chopped
2 tablespoons great olive oil
2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream

65 to 100 g short pasta with a hole, like sedani or penne, which usually take 8 minutes to cook

Heat about 2 liters of salted water to a boil, then toss in the pasta. While it cooks, in a frying pan heat the oil and add the prosciutto. Fry it so that the flavor and saltiness of the prosciutto go into the oil. Add the cream and continue to cook it, stirring, so it will flavor the cream as well.
