Capellini with Prosciutto and Nectarines

Considering it has been sooooo long since I really cooked something new I decided to be pretty adventurous on this one. I also knew I wanted something that didn't involve much cooking because it was HOT last night. This was really yummy, especially on a summer night because of the nectarine slices in it.


Ingredients (for 2 with leftovers)
-1/2 box capellini (or other) pasta
-1/8 pound of prosciutto
-1 nectarine (or 2)
-1 tomato (or 2)
-any greens, like spinach or basil
-fresh Parmesan and feta cheese
-extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
-1 clove of garlic

Get water boiling for your capellini pasta. The actual pasta cooks really fast because it is so thin. So you can prepare everything before you even put the pasta in the water.

While the water heats up, chop up 1 or 2 nectarines, 1 or 2 tomatoes, and 1 garlic clove. Wrap the prosciutto slices around a few of the nectarines (not all!). I only wrapped 6 nectarine slices. The rest of the prosciutto will be saved for sandwiches.

Once the water starts boiling cook the pasta, it only takes about 2 minutes. Drain the pasta and put the pasta, some Parmesan cheese, the chopped tomato, nectarine (not the slices with prosciutto), garlic, greens, and some EVOO in a saute pan. Mix together and let it warm over the stove. Plate this and sprinkle some more Parmesan cheese and crumble some feta on top. Place prosciutto wrapped nectarine slices on top and voila! Enjoy.

and it makes fiance happy too!
