The prosciutto and onion add a flavor to the peas that is unmistakenly Italian. Quick and easy to prepare, it remains an elegant dish to serve to company. The bits of prosciutto and onion intermixed with the peas, make the dish equally appealing. Although simple, the dish was served mostly for company . . . Not the every day menu.
* one package of frozen peas can substitute for 2 cups of fresh peas.
