This spring time pasta is a far cry from heavy winter pasta dishes. The sauce is more of a light glaze, simply kissing the pasta, rather than drowning it. The addition of prosciutto, cantaloupe, and edamame provide wondrous contrast in flavor and texture. Plus, this dish is fabulous served at any temperature! It’s fantastic to pack in a picnic basket or serve at an outdoor dinner party.
Cook the pasta as directed on the package. As it’s cooking, add the edamame to the cooking pasta in the last minute. Then drain it and set aside.
Slice the prosciutto and cantaloupe into small bite-size pieces.
In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk the roux for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cream and stock, then whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens a little.
Add the lemon zest, juice, edamame and pasta. Toss until well coated.
Toss in the green onions and add additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve at any temperature.
Serves 4-6.
