This elegant lumaconi with prosciutto and lemon breadcrumbs is a sophisticated addition to our high protein category, offering a beautiful balance of rich flavours and varied textures. The snail-shell pasta is the perfect vessel for capturing the luxurious, velvet-like cream sauce, which is deeply infused with the savoury, salty notes of crisp prosciutto. Shaved radicchio adds a pleasant bitterness, while the citrus-spiked breadcrumbs provide a bright, crunchy finish that elevates the entire dish.
Ideal for an indulgent weekend supper or a dinner party main, this homemade pasta dish feels truly special without requiring hours of preparation. The secret lies in steeping the cream with aromatics and brandy, creating a complex depth of flavour that pairs beautifully with the fresh flat-leaf parsley. Serve it in warmed shallow bowls with a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a restaurant-quality experience at home.

How to make Lumaconi with Prosciutto and Lemon Breadcrumbs
Volver al contenidoPulse prosciutto in a food processor until finely ground. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook prosciutto, stirring often, until brown and crisp, 5–8 minutes.
Add shallot and garlic to skillet and cook, stirring often, until shallot is soft and garlic is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add brandy and cook until skillet is almost dry, about 30 seconds.
Add thyme, bay leaf, lemon zest, and cream to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cream is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard solids.
Do ahead: Prosciutto cream can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook just until golden, about 2 minutes. Add breadcrumbs and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain; let cool.
Discard garlic and transfer breadcrumbs to a medium bowl. Add lemon zest and toss to combine; season with salt.
Do ahead: Breadcrumbs (without lemon zest) can be cooked 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature. Add lemon zest just before serving.
Pulse prosciutto in a food processor until finely ground. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook prosciutto, stirring often, until brown and crisp, 5–8 minutes. Add prosciutto cream to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until cream is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 8–10 minutes; drain.
Add pasta to sauce. Cook over medium heat, tossing, until pasta is well coated, about 2 minutes. Add radicchio, parsley, and lemon juice and toss to combine; season with salt.
Serve pasta topped with breadcrumbs and drizzled with more oil.
