Crispy Prosciutto & Lemon Pesto Pasta (with Asparagus & Parmesan) is a Vegetarian meal from Blue Apron. The recipe format follows Blue Apron's standard approach of pre-measured ingredients and step-by-step instructions.
Pasta is a type of food typically made from an unleavened dough of wheat flour mixed with water or eggs, and formed into sheets or other shapes, then cooked by boiling or baking. Pasta was originally only made with durum, although the definition has been expanded to include alternatives for a gluten-free diet, such as rice flour, or legumes such as beans or lentils. [1]

How to make it
- Bring a medium pot of salted water (3/4 full) to a boil. Rinse and dry all produce. Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces. Halve the lemon(s) and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Remove the plastic liner from the prosciutto, stack, and thinly slice crosswise.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook stirring occasionally 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water (1 cup for 4 servings).
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the sliced prosciutto. Cook stirring frequently, breaking apart clumps, 4-5 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fond.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the pan of fond over medium-high. Add the asparagus and as much red pepper flake as you like; season. Cook stirring occasionally 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and softened.
- Add the cooked pasta and half the reserved pasta water to the pan (it may spatter). Cook stirring constantly 1-2 minutes until combined and the liquid has reduced. Remove from heat. Stir in the pesto, creme fraiche, and as much lemon juice as you like until coated, adding more water gradually if needed. Taste and season. Serve topped with the crispy prosciutto and parmesan.
