Boil salted water for pasta. Cook pasta according to instructions to make it al dente. When pasta is cooking, start making the sauce.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat up 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Line prosciutto in an even layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side and flip. Cook until perfectly crispy, then remove and set aside to let cool.
Once cooled, chop into small strips/pieces.
Next, in the same pan with the same oil, add shallot and cook until tender. Reduce heat and add garlic, mix and cook for 1 minute.
Add heavy cream, grated parmesan and cooked pasta, mix well.
Add reserved pasta water and toss well until glossy.
Add more cheese or pasta water depending on the consistency you desire.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add half of the crispy pieces of prosciutto and mix. Add the rest as a topping.
You can also garnish with bread crumbs and more Parmesan.
Enjoy!
