Description

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.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Dried Pasta
  • 1-½ cup Shelled Edamame
  • 5 ounces, weight Prosciutto Ham
  • ½ whole Cantaloupe
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Flour
  • ¼ cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock (or Water)
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 whole Meyer Lemon, Zest And Juice
  • 1 cup Green Onions, Chopped

Preparation

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.

Although this dish had a fresh and simple appeal to it, it was just a little too simple for my taste. I experimented with different seasonings and couldn’t quite find what worked. I would encourage people to try it because it was quite nice and very health but just not for me.

Giving this five stars when served slightly warm after just having been prepared. The flavors are wonderful together, and the finished dish is beautiful. Something I look forward to making again. Finishing off the leftovers the next day, however, I was disappointed that it didn’t have the “wow” factor the dish had when warm.
