PREPPING
The trick to this dish is to have all the prepwork done so the cooking will go smooth as all can be

In a Small bowl take your 5 Eggs and scramble them with Pepper only 

Take the casing off your Italian sausages and place "meat"



Take your prosciuto slices and sliced them in half



Cube up a medium onion

Place in bowl with Minced Garlic

Have everything at arms reach as now you are ready to cook.

 COOKING

Get your water and salt to boil in a Large pot
Drop in the Pasta

In a deep stainless steel deep frying pan on med/high heat heat up the olive oil

Once the Oil looks wavy in the pan (hot) drop in the Sausage

Using your spoong break up the sausage into smaller pieces
Do not worry if yhe sausage is sticking to the bottom when you all the pasta this will
 lift all that charbroiled flavor right into your dish

When the sausage starts to take color drop in the Onions and Garlic

Mix all until the onions like always start to become translucent

Drop in straight from the freezer your 2 cups of peas
(you want the consistency of the peas that is why you don't want them
thawed of from a can)



Mix peas in

After the peas start to loose the white (Frozen) color drop in your
Prosciutto and fold them into your mixture

By this time your pasta should be done to your consistency

Being VERY CAREFUL transfer the cooked pasta from the boiling water into the pan
(do not strain the pasta as you want some of the liquid to lift the charcoal flavor)

Add the mixture of Eggs and Black Pepper

Mix in the heat for 1 minute
(this will help the Eggs not be as runny)

Take off the heat add the Grated Cheese and mix

You may serve family style



Or by dish

 

Either way Try it and ENJOY
