Make a soffritto by sweating some finely chopped onion in olive oil until translucent. Add the prosciutto, cut across the grain into thin strips, and continue cooking just until the prosciutto has lost its 'raw' look.

Then add peas—frozen peas will do nicely—and stir. Allow the peas to cook and absorb the flavors of the soffritto. If using frozen peas, this will take no longer than five minutes, otherwise let the peas simmer until tender, about 15-2o minutes. Season to taste and serve!
