"Aussies love Seafood and I am no exception! This Pasta sauce takes less than 10 minutes to make (so start cooking your pasta before you start this) and dinner will be ready in quick as a flash. Recipe can be doubled and tripled for a crowd but does NOT freeze well. Prepare as close to serving time as possible."

Place the Prosciutto on an baking tray and grill both sides for 3 minutes, until crispy. Break into shards using your hands - set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the oil, fry the onion until wilted. Add the garlic and fry until fragrant (about 30-60 seconds).
Add the peas cream and lemon (juice and rind). Stir until it JUST comes to the boil and remove from the heat.

I grind fresh pepper as I am tossing the pasta through.

<img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt=/ /> As a toddler, my nic-name was Pompom (my Poppy had a golf hat with a pompom and it was one of my first words, and it stuck as my nic name).  My Poppy has long since passed, but I fondly remember him every time I log on.  I'm a stay at home mum of four aged: 10, 8, 7 and almost 6. I have a severe egg allergy and am lactose intolerant, I enjoy working out ways to still enjoy food minus eggs and milk. I have been married for 14 years and have one very happy and well fed hubby. My goal is to try one new recipe a week, for the past 8 years have achieved this.  I own over 300 cookbooks, but no longer purchase them - but regularly print out recipes to try later. When I am not cooking, I am busy household of 6 and going to the gym (to work off the wonderful calories I consumed the day before) and helping at school and church. My philosophy in life is: as we have to eat, we may as well eat well.
