Ingredients 

 * 8 ounces whole-wheat pasta, such as fusilli or rotini 

 * 3 cups shelled English peas (4 1/2 pounds unshelled) or frozen peas 

 * 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 

 * 2 ounces sliced prosciutto, diced 

 * 2 cloves garlic, minced 

 * 2 cups quartered cremini or sliced chanterelle mushrooms (about 6 ounces) 

 * 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 

 * 1/4 cup white wine 

 * 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth 

 * 1/4 cup whipping cream 

 * Lots of freshly ground pepper , to taste 

 INSTRUCTIONS 

 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and peas; cook until the pasta is tender and the peas are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook prosciutto, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. 

Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms; stir to coat. Add wine and let simmer for 1 minute. Add broth, return to a simmer and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in cream and pepper.

 Drain the peas and pasta; return to the pan, add the mushroom sauce and toss to coat. French Pea Sauce.... quick-french-pea-sauce
