  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 12-13 minutes.

    Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander and set aside.

    While pasta cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim stems off Brussels sprouts and slice thinly.

    Peel and halve shallot. Slice thinly.

    Stem and mince rosemary.

    Zest lemon, halve, and juice.

  3. 3

    Crisp the Prosciutto

    Line a plate with a paper towel. Remove prosciutto from refrigerator.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Working in batches, add prosciutto to hot pan in a single layer. Cook until crispy, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Transfer prosciutto to towel-lined plate. When cool enough to handle, break into bite-sized pieces.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    Return pan used to cook prosciutto to medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add Brussels sprouts, shallot, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until lightly browned and tender, 7-9 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Stir cream sauce base, half the pasta cooking water, rosemary, 1 tsp. lemon zest, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper into hot pan. Bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, add pasta. Cook until pasta is heated through, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner and stir in 2 tsp. lemon juice. If too thick, add remaining pasta cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping pasta with prosciutto and Parmesan. Bon appétit!
