Pasta with Prosciutto and Sage

Ingredients

3/4 lb. bow tie (or other) pasta
3 tbsp of butter
1 tbsp chopped fresh sage or 1 tsp. dried
3 tbsp of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, lightly crushed
5 oz. thin sliced prosciutto cut into fine strips
½ c. chopped walnuts (Jenn uses pistachios)
¾ c. grated parmesan cheese
½ tsp fresh ground black pepper

Directions

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook pasta until just done. Meanwhile, melt the butter with the sage in a small saucepan. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over low heat. Add garlic cloves and cook until golden, about 7 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic. Add prosciutto and walnuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the walnuts are lightly toasted and the prosciutto begins to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Drain pasta. Toss with sage butter, prosciutto mixture, cheese, and pepper. Serves 4
