How To Make Pea and Prosciutto Mac & Cheese

When purchasing prosciutto, look for an option that contains no nitrates or nitrites. If you’re having difficulty finding a good option, ask your deli attendant. Most options are typically stored near the artisan cheese (and if you’re lucky, they will have Flagship, too!).

 

Fresh peas can be hard to find – as they are in and out of season very quickly. If you’re able to find some, purchase them as close to cooking as possible. The longer fresh peas sit out, the less tender they become. Peas are best when their pods are a vibrant green and firm to the touch, so choose a bright, medium-sized pod with a firmer feel.
