Crispy Proscuitto Basil Trofie
Simply tasty and elegant! Your taste buds will thank you for this one.
This crispy basil proscuitto pasta recipe is very easy to make, and you can also play around with it a little bit! You can definitely sub for a traditional spaghetti pasta, but I just enjoy the choice of the trofie because it was short and easier to eat with a bite of that prosciutto, asparagus, ricotta, and more!
If you aren’t an asparagus fan you can also sub for spinach, peas or another green. I also definitely am a cheese person so if you are the same adding some more ricotta and parmesan never hurt anyone. For the pest infused oil if you don’t have no worries, I would suggest adding more basil and more CHEESE then, hehe.
