Let’s start cooking!
Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon of coarse sea salt
- 400g ditalini pasta
- ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 100g ham, cut into small dice about the size of peas
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 100g pancetta, cut into small dice about the size of peas
- Parmesan
- 200g ricotta cheese
- ¼ teaspoon of turmeric diluted in 2 ladels of water
Instructions:
- Place the onion in the cold olive oil and soften without colouring. Add a teaspoon of of water from time to time to stop it frying and colouring. Cook till wilted and opaque, about 10 minutes.
- Add the peas and enough water to just cover. Season with salt and pepper and cook till tender, 5 to 15 minutes for fresh peas depending on freshness and size or 10 minutes for frozen.
- Just before the peas are done, add the diced pancetta and ham, stir through and turn the heat off.
- Stir in the turmeric liquor and add the ricotta sieving it through a colander. Ricotta has to melt into the cooking liquids so it becomes a golden sauce. Keep warm until the pasta is done.
- Meanwhile cook pasta according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Drain the pasta and save some of the cooking pasta water for the sauce. If it seems dry, add the water to dilute it.
- Immediately toss the cooked pasta in the sauté pan so it is thoroughly coated with the sauce and serve at once with the grated Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese.
