This is my version of a classic Italian dish!
Sweet Tea’s Panna, Speck e Noci
This is my twist on one of my favorite classic Italian pasta dishes!
Ingredients
- 1 shallot diced
- 2 cloves garlic diced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red crushed pepper or more if you like it spicy!
- 1 teaspoon Gops
- 9 oz speck or ham sliced and diced
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 pound of pasta cooked
- a handful of walnuts chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, sauté the shallot, garlic, red pepper and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the crushed pepper and gops and continue to sauté until the garlic is slightly brown and the shallots are soft.
- Add the speck and brown it a little, constantly stirring, so you do not burn the speck/ham.
- Once, the speck/ham is browned, stir in the heavy whipping cream/panna.
- Add the handful of walnuts and mix well.
- Add the pasta into the skilet and toss to combine. If the pasta seems to dry, add some of the cooking water from the pasta.
- top off with some fresh grated parmigiana and enjoy!
