Escarole and sugar snap peas will infuse your pasta with spring freshness and juiciness. The greens and peas are simmered in a sauce of white wine, olive oil, and butter with a subtle lemon flavor and zesty garlic. The vegetables are then tossed with cooked spaghetti. Slices of Italian prosciutto ham and grated Pecorino Romano cheese add a rich flavor. Sprinkle the cooked spaghetti with fresh parsley and enjoy its vibrant, multifaceted flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, bring the wine, garlic, and lemon zest to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the butter, then the olive oil, until the sauce thickens; add 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Add the escarole and cook until completely wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the peas and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and lemon zest.

  3. Drain 1/4 cup of the spaghetti cooking liquid, then place the pasta in the pan. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid and 1 teaspoon of salt; toss, adding more water as needed to thin the sauce. Divide the pasta among plates and top with prosciutto, parsley, and pecorino cheese.
