- Repeat the process with the remaining dough, then dust the pasta with semolina flour, place onto a plate and refrigerate overnight.
- When you're ready to cook the pasta, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the tagliarini and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
- For the sauce, heat the butter in a frying pan, add the spring onions and fry for one minute.
- Add the peas and a splash of water and simmer for one minute, then add the prosciutto and cook for a further minute.
- Drain the pasta and add to the pan with the sauce. Add the parmesan, season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir. Serve immediately.
