Equipment

• Large saucepan
• Large frying pan

Ingredients

• 50 g butter
• 100 g prosciutto sliced into 5mm–1cm ribbons
• 1 small onion finely chopped
• 1/2 radicchio head finely shredded
• 75 ml double cream
• 300 g pappardelle, fettuccine or tagliatelle
• 75 g Parmesan cheese freshly grated
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Nutmeg, about 1/6tsp is ideal freshly grated to taste

Method

• Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
• Heat the butter in a large pan over a moderate heat and cook the onion until it is soft and translucent, about eight to 10 minutes. Stir in the radicchio and the prosciutto and cook for one to two minutes, enough for the radicchio to wilt.

• Cook the pasta as per packet instructions, and drain.
• Toss the cooked pasta in the cream sauce for a minute over the heat for the flavours to meld. Serve immediately, with the grated cheese.
