Crispy Prosciutto & Mushroom Parmesan Pasta

1. In a large pot, boil water and cook pasta according to package directions.
2. While waiting for the water to boil, prepare mushrooms and prosciutto.
3. Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tsp olive or avocado oil. Add prosciutto and cook until crispy on both sides (this will only take a few minutes!). Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, turn heat to medium-low. Add butter and sliced mushrooms. Cook until liquid has been released, about 5 minutes. Then add 1 tsp minced garlic and cook for a few more minutes. Finally, season with salt and pepper.
5. When pasta is finished cooking, save 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and return to the pot.
6. Add Parmesan cheese, the remaining olive oil, and the reserved water to the pasta. Mix well until the cheese has melted. Season with salt & pepper if needed.
7. Make your bowls: add Parmesan pasta and top with sautéed mushrooms & crispy prosciutto. Serve with protein of choice (shrimp is a quick and good option!).
