6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, minced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 pound prosciutto, julienned (optional)
1 cup frozen peas, thawed (optional)
1 cup sliced, sauted mushrooms (optional)
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for garnish
1 pound fresh fettuccini
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and saute for a couple minutes or until tender. Add cream and bring to a boil, cook until sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add mushrooms, prosciutto and peas and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle cheese over top and stir to melt and combine.
