We're now obsessed with this snail-shaped pasta (which is made from scratch at Tosca).

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Pulse prosciutto in a food processor until finely ground. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook prosciutto, stirring often, until brown and crisp, 5 –8 minutes.
  2. Add shallot and garlic to skillet and cook, stirring often, until shallot is soft and garlic is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add brandy and cook until skillet is almost dry, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add thyme, bay leaf, lemon zest, and cream to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cream is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard solids.
  4. Do ahead: Prosciutto cream can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
