Notes:
Use most flavorful oil you can find - preferably from Lazio, the region where Rome is located - Cru de Cures and Quattrociocchi are good brands to look for.

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 - medium white onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 cloves - garlic crushed with a knife and chopped
- 3 slices - prosciutto diced
- 1/3 cups - extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cups - light chicken broth or water
- 3 1/2 pounds - fresh young peas shelled
- - sea salt to taste
- - freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoons - minced flat-leaf parsley for garnish
- - crusty country-style bread for serving with
Directions:
In a medium pan over medium-low heat, sauté onion and garlic with prosciutto in the olive oil, stirring occasionally until onions soften and prosciutto releases some of its fat, about 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth or water to a brisk boil in a small pot over high heat. Add the boiling broth, peas, salt, and pepper to the onion-prosciutto mixture.
Stir, then increase heat to medium-high and bring liquid to a rapid boil. Cook until peas are tender, about 15 minutes.
If pan gets too dry, add a little more stock or water, as needed.
Garnish with parsley and serve with bread, if desired.
