Spaghetti & Roses

200 g di spaghetti
6o g thinly sliced ham
20 g butter
1 dl cream

Choose the roses; they should be preferrably pink. Take the petals and clean them gently with a damp towel, cut them in thin slices and keep aside 6 whole petals.

Cut the ham into small cubes.

Stir fry the onion with some butter, add the ham, fry it for a while and add the cream.  When the cream starts boiling, add the cut petals and cook the sauce at medium heat for a few minutes.

Once cooked, put the spaghetti in the sauce’s pan and fry them for a while.  Serve them in a plate, decorated with the whole petals.
