Alliteration's fun, but it also can be informative. The three "Ps" of this meal represent so much about the flavors and textures. Prosciutto, a classic cured pork, bringing to the meal a distinct, delightful salty burst to the bites. Comforting, familiar pasta, in the shape of bowties, satisfies as a supple starch. And the primavera, the peas and squash, all pool to form the prototype of pasta perfection, the gold standard of gratifying grub, and the triumph of toothsome treats.
