Peppered Capellini with Prosciutto - 8 servings

Preparation: 15 min. Cooking: 20 min. Total: 35 min.
  • 2 lbs capellini pasta, or other thin pasta
  • 2 large lemons
  • 2 oranges
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 8 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 11 oz prosciutto, cut into .5 in. strips
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained, sliced
  • 11 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp black pepper, cracked
  • 2-3/4 Tbsp fresh lemon thyme, chopped

Cook cappellini in a large pan of boiling water 4-5 minutes, or until al dente. Drain. Rinse under cold water and drain thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler, thinly peel rind from lemon and orange, avoiding white pith. Cut rind into thin strips. Add strips to a pan of boiling water. Boil 1 minute and drain. Heat oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and half the scallions 3-4 minutes stirring frequently, until scallions are softened. Stir in prosciutto and rind. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until prosciutto is lightly browned. Remove from heat and cool. Combine pasta, prosciutto mixture and last 4 ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate several hours. Sprinkle with remaining scallions before serving.
