Ingredients:

For 2 servings you will nee:
160 gr pasta
5 cloves of garlic
4 tablespoons of fat, sour cream
2 eggs
salt, freshly ground pepper
ham
Parmesan

Directions:

First of all, boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package. You can start with this step because the preparation of the sauce does not take much time. In that way, by the time the pasta are ready you can put the sauce on them!

Choose a bowl and  put the sour cream, eggs, 4 cloves of finely crushed garlic, ground pepper and a little salt – put a little because the prosciutto is very salty. Mix everything well until you got a homogeneous paste.

In the hot pan put a teaspoon of oil and then add a clove of garlic (you can press it with the palm of your hand to crush it a little). With its help you will give the meat a great flavor, and after that you can take it out of the pan. In addition to the garlic, put the chopped prosciutto in the pan and let them brown well. Took the garlic out of the pan at the moment it starts to burn.

After the pasta has boiled, it must be drained from the water and put back in the pot. Pour over the pasta the sauce made from cream and egg. At this moment you can put the prosciutto from the pan. It is important not to put too much oil in the frying pan because you will obtain oily pasta and you don’t want that!

Now is time to let the pot on medium heat and stir for 2-3 minutes, until you see that the sauce starts to shrink. You can check this as follows: with a wooden spoon, pull through the middle of the pot so that the pot can be seen. If the sauce stays separate for a few seconds, it means that it ready!

Place the pasta nicely on the plate and sprinkle it with grated Parmesan cheese!
