Ingredients:
3-1/2 cups chicken broth
2 cups low-fat milk
3/4 lb. dried fettuccine
1-1/2 cups (10 oz. package) frozen petite peas
1 oz. thin-sliced prosciutto ham
1-1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper
Instructions:
1. In a 5- to 6-quart pan, combine broth, milk and fettuccine; cover and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, stirring often to separate noodles, for 5 minutes. Add peas and stir occasionally until pasta is tender to bine, 2 to 4 minutes longer.

2. Meanwhile, separate prosciutto slices and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.

3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Add to pasta mixture and stir until it boils and thickens. Add sour cream, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste; stir until well blended and heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in prosciutto. Spoon onto plates.
