First, cut the slices of ham into small pieces; then finely Mince the onion. In a large saucepan, sauté the onion in olive oil over medium / low heat. Stir the onion with a spoon to avoid burning, until it is soft and translucent, then add the double concentrated tomato paste and continue cooking for 5 minutes

Add the prosciutto with the onions and mix them cooking for a couple of minutes, then raise the heat to maximum, add the wine and continue cooking over high heat stir-frying until all the alcohol has evaporated . Now, lower the heat to medium level, and add the peas, and stir-fry for 5 minutes. When the peas will be well seasoned, add 3 tablespoons of hot vegetable stock, lower the heat at minimum, cover the saucepan with a lid and cook for about 45 minutes, until the peas are cooked but not mushy.

Meanwhile the sauce is cooking, heat 5 qt of salt water in a large pot. When the sauce is ready, and the water starts to boil, pour the pasta and cook it "al dente", then drain and add it into the sauce. Stir-fry the pasta with the sauce for a few minutes on high heat, then serve it piping on the table.
