- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ Tbsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil

- 1 12-oz. bag frozen peas, thawed
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- While pasta is cooking, place a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add prosciutto cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Once prosciutto is slightly crispy on edges, remove cubes to a paper-towel lined plate.

- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Prosciutto is typically sold as thin slices. For this recipe, order prosciutto from the deli counter and ask for ¼” slices. Then just finish cutting the prosciutto into cubes at home.
