- 2 slices prosciutto
- 1⁄4 cup feshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt & pepper, to taste
directions
- - Heat the pine nuts in a pan (no grease) for a few minutes (they'll get dry and more crunchy)
- - Cut the Prosciutto slices in small strips.
- - Peel and mince the onion ; fry it in 2 Tbs. olive oil
- - Prepare the broccoli in very small bunches; boil them in salted water for 5 minutes.
- - Boil the pasta in salted water and strain them when they are still a little firm; spread 1 Tbs.of olive oil and mix.
- - In the onion pan, pour the pasta and broccoli and add pepper; saute for
- 2 minutes (turn gently) then spread with the prosciutto and pine nuts.

- Hint : you may choose to put the parmesan in the pasta before the pine nuts and ham and turn. I prefer to do that because the parmesan cheese melts better in the dish when it is done.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live in Hilliard, Ohio and I work for a restaurant equipment and design distributor. I hated to cook when I was young and did not really have a passion for it until I married my husband 13 years ago. He's a Mikey - will eat just about anything so he is a lot of fun to cook for. It is hard to say what my favorite cookbook is. I have the standard Betty Crocker that is about 30 years old and so beat up. But it is great for the basics. I love Taste of Home and other cooking magazines such as that. I tend to spend my time reading recipes, clipping them out and then storing them in a notebook according to category to be tried at a later date. Needless to say, the notebook is overflowing with recipes that have not been tried yet!!! <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/AMPageBanner.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg></p>
