Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup pine nuts, or to taste
4 zucchini, sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 ounces prosciutto, chopped
1 cup Alfredo sauce, or as desired
½ cup frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir pine nuts until fragrant and toasted, about 5 minutes.
