Pasta with Leeks, Peas, and Prosciutto | Everyday Food with Sarah Carey
When you boil up a pot of pasta, do you use the same old mix-ins? Why not mix it up? Here's a simple combo I've been loving lately, which uses savory leeks, frozen peas (you could use fresh, of course), and prosciutto, which adds great pork flavor without too much fat. It all comes together in an easy sauce of a little butter and fresh lemon juice, resulting in a dish that's as fresh and bright tasting as it is satisfying. And best of all? It cooks in the time it takes for the spaghetti to boil.
Sarah's Tip of the Day:
In the video, I'll show you how to tell if your leeks are fresh and demonstrate how to get them super clean. I'll also tell you my trick for making the sauce perfectly loose and smooth every time. You won't believe how easy it is.
