Looking for springtime dishes to make? This Ziti with Prosciutto, Peas and Scallion Cream is a perfect dish for spring. The cream sauce is cooked with loads of green onions, then pureed to a smooth consistency. Green onions are perfect this time of the year as well as the peas. I think it is a beautiful dish visually with it’s vibrant colors, but a beautiful tasting dish also.

Not that I followed their recipe to the T, but this recipe was on the cover of Food and Wine called Garganelli with Speck, Peas and Scallion Cream, and I immediately wanted to make it. I used Ziti and Prosciutto instead, but you know, that’s what cooking is all about. Using what you have and creating delicious dishes. Here is the Food and Wine link: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/garganelli-speck-peas-and.

This is a delicious recipe. You can serve it alone with just some garlic bread or a nice salad. My Italian Salad would be great, a Wedge Salad too; even my Caesar Salad would be great! https://the2spoons.com/a-classic-beautiful-caesar-salad/

You need to make this recipe soon! Delicious and so Springtime!
