Pasta With Prosciutto and Peas Light Lunch and It's Diabetic Friendly
Looking an idea for a light lunch that is a little different than the norm? Give out pasta with prosciutto and peas a try. You have your meat, pasta, and vegetable all in one easy dish. Top it off with a light and luscious lemon pie that is even suitable for dieters and diabetics!
PASTA WITH PROSCIUTTO AND PEAS
3 ounces prosciutto, sliced very thin and chopped
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
12-ounces short pasta twists, cooked

1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add prosciutto and cook until lightly browned, approximately 3 minutes. Remove from pan. Add oil and garlic to pan and cook about a minute until garlic begins to brown. Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl and toss to coat well.
This is a great way for the diabetic to enjoy pasta as this dish has a good carb to protein ratio.
