  • Once water is boiling, add penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.

  • Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

3
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto slices in a single layer; sear until browned and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. TIP: If prosciutto starts to crisp too quickly, reduce heat to medium.

  • Turn off heat; transfer prosciutto to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve oil in pan (you’ll use it to cook the chicken in the next step).

  • Prosciutto

    2 ounce

  • Olive Oil

    1 teaspoon (tsp)

4
  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with half the Fry Seasoning (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.

  • Heat pan with reserved oil over medium-high heat. (TIP: Add an additional drizzle of oil if pan seems dry.) Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.

  • Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

  • Add cream sauce base, cream cheese, a big pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until combined, 2-3 minutes more.

  • Add drained penne and peas. Cook, stirring, until peas are warmed through and sauce has thickened slightly, 1-2 minutes. TIP: If needed, stir in reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.
