Instructions

  1. Take out the meat and let it come to room temperature.

  2. Parmasticks: Divide the slices into 2-3 strips lengthwise. Fry quickly in a dry non-stick pan.

  3. Roughly chop the onion and fry it gently in butter for a few minutes without letting it colour, add cream and mustard, let it cook for a few minutes.

  4. Boil the pasta and pour over the cream with the onion and stir together. Cut the tenderloin into 2-3 cm pieces, fry them with salt and pepper.

  5. Serving: Put the pasta on the plate, scatter over the meat and garnish with Parmasticks. Serve with a nice salad.

Notes

Tips: Lay the Parma ham flat on baking paper and bake at 180°C for 8 to 10 minutes until brittle and crisp. It crisps up further as it cools.

Storage: Best eaten fresh. The pasta and the ham lose their texture over time.

Variations: Swap the Parma ham for pancetta or guanciale for a richer, saltier flavour.
