Best Pasta Seafood Salad

What to make for tomorrow’s dinner.?
My sister-in-law, brother-in-law (both reasonably health conscious) are coming for dinner with their 4 month old baby (not eating yet) as well as my mother (crazy judgemental of me) and father in law (traditional, stick in the mud, afraid of “spicy” and one refuses to eat onions). What should I make on a weeknight, when I’ll have, at best, one hour to cook. I was thinking some sort of baked pasta, a salad and bread. I need a fool-proof, delicious, slightly upscale recipe that’s not too adventurous and that has no onions. Help! I’m a good cook who is now paralyzed by fear. It doesn’t have to be pasta, I’m open to anything at this point (except seafood, we have an allergy in the house).
Pasta with Peas and Prosciutto
Pasta with Peas and Prosciutto
(Yields: 4)
Ingredients:
1 lb fettuccine
4 tbsp unsalted butter
6 oz prosciutto, cut into julienne strips
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup cooked peas
12 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
2 tbsp fresh chives, snipped
1 tbsp flat-leaf parley, chopped
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
Instructions:
Cook pasta according to package instruction and drain.
In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter and add the prosciutto. Sauté on low heat for one minute. Then stir in the flour and cook for a further 3 minutes. Gradually add the whipping cream, while constantly stirring with a wire whisk. Continue cooking for a further 5 to 6 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the peas, Parmesan, pepper, chives and parsley. Bring to a simmer until heated through. Toss with the cooked fettuccini and serve immediately.
