Nothing better on a rainy afternoon than plates and plates of pasta. Combined with Jamón Serrano, ricotta, lemon, fresh grown scallions and butter, lots of butter, this Spaghetti with Lemon Ricotta and Jamon Recipe makes for an absolute stunner of a pasta dish that can be whipped up in half an hour.
Jamón Serrano (Serrano ham) is a kind of dry-cured ham produced in Spain. It is one of the most globally recognized food items of Spanish cuisine. It is also regularly a component of tapas. Most jamón is commonly called jamón serrano in Spain. Jamón is the Spanish word for ham.
You can use whatever kind of pasta you want. I happen to like the way spaghetti looks, but I bet this would be good with linguine, penne or farfalle as well. Whole wheat pasta will lend a subtle nuttiness to the dish, along with extra fibre and wholegrain goodness.
