Quick and dirty pasta with garlic and oil

1 lb box of Bowtie pasta
¼ lb of Prosciutto
1 box frozen peas
8 cloves of garlic
8 sprigs of parsley
¼ cup of olive oil
1 cup of locatelli grated cheese

Here is a quick and dirty recipe that chicken little asked for with the pasta pictured in my first poll post.

Take ½ of the olive oil and put it in a deep frying pan under a low flame. Dice the garlic into small pieces and put in the pan. Caramelize but be sure not to burn it you gavone. Smell that delicious order. It’s just like grandma’s burps.

Take the peas and put them in a school-a-bast (a calendar) and run under the hot water until the peas are unfrozen and all the ice shit is gone. Then shake them up and down to drain out the excess water.

In a separate pot boil some water and then throw the pasta in. Cook for about seven or eight minutes. You want you pasta to be al dente, or sorta hard. You know the way you get when you look at that Betty Rubble picture. Not really hard just sorta hard. Take it out of the water before it gets mushy.

Cut up the pieces of proscuitto and throw them in the pan to heat up. Don’t burn them either you babbo. Just let them cook a little until the get a little stiff. You know how you felt when you first saw Honey Ryder coming out of the surf. When you cut them, don’t cut them too small. Just cut each slice into fourths. That should be good.

Put the peas in the olive oil and push it around for it to warm up. Thourghly mix the peas, the Prosciutto and the garlic in the oil. Then pour on the rest of the oil.

Take the al dente macaroni and gently pour it into the pan. Mix it all together as you heat it up and cook the macaroni a little more. DON”T COOK IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH! It will keep cooking in the bowl as you serve it piping hot. Take the whole hot mess and put it in your serving bowl. Take ½ cup of the cheese and put it on the pasta and keep turning it in the bowl until the cheese is all over the place. Then take some of the parsley that you have chopped up and sprinkle it on the top. Now the picture has it all neat on the top but I think it is better if the pasta and the peas and the meat and the cheese are all mixed up together. The parsley on the top is enough of a decoration.

This basic pasta with garlic and oil dish is a staple in my house. You can substitute different stuff. Replace the peas with green olives with pimentos. Replace the Prosciutto with mushrooms if you want to go vegetarian. Or maybe use some zucchini instead.
After you dish it out put the rest of the cheese in a bowl and let everyone put some more on if they want.

Hey, whats-a-matta with you? Eat-a you pasta and shud-uppa you mouth.
