a classic recipe from a Sicilian village

First, boil the water for the pasta, as this takes the longest. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Dice the onion and sauté it in a little oil until translucent. Meanwhile, dice the ham, add it, and fry for 3 minutes. Add a splash of cognac and let it evaporate. Add the pesto or pistachios, stir, and then add the cream. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens a little. If desired, add a little Parmesan cheese. Once the pasta is ready, toss everything together and serve.
