This sweet&savory Fig Prosciutto Pistachio Pasta is a delightful and easy to make autumn kind of pasta.

Happy Wednesday, folks. I’m super agitated today. Not only am I delighted to share this luscious Fig Prosciutto Pistachio Pasta with you, I’m also happy to inform you (In case you’ve been oblivious) it’s almost Thursday. And Thursday is basically little Friday. Does this statement make sense?
Besides, it looks that this outrageous heat wave is leaving us. It’s not going to dramatically plummet which is good. I love my fall being around 20 degrees Celsius.
On top of that, I still haven’t met any new coyotes (Although I’ve met plenty of bunnies).
As you see, there’re many good reasons to be happy about.
Let’s talk about pasta for a second, please.
Fig Prosciutto Pistachio Pasta
Fun fact you must know. I’m a huge fan of sweet&savory pasta flavors. Also, sometimes I make sweet kinds of pasta too. And pasta with alcohol.
Fun fact #2 you probably don’t realize. Although you might think I’ve made crazy pasta dishes with lavender most frequently, this is not true. Apparently, figs seem to be my favorite ingredient. Look.
First I made this simple Fig Pasta.
Then I made this Fig Brie Blue Cheese Pasta Bake.
And now I suggest enjoying this Fig Prosciutto Pistachio Pasta. Somehow pasta, fresh figs, honey, and herbs (like thyme or basil) work amazingly together. And please don’t you worry – it only has a very subtle sweet aftertaste thanks to figs and honey. The prosciutto and salted pistachios do balance the sweet notes.
I think there’s nothing much to add here. Just one question – are you going to make this Fig Prosciutto Pistachio Pasta right now? :)

Hi – I’m Ben, a blogger, recipe developer, and food photographer. I’m glad you’re here! I hope you will enjoy hundreds of delicious recipes and a pinch of havoc in the kitchen.
Enjoy your heat wave! I’ve got friends in Toronto and they keep posting pictures of them being in their swimming pool at this time of the year. I’m just jealous they’ve got a swimming pool!!
I can imagine figs and pasta going really well together so this taste combination is particularly intriguing to me. Plus I always think your photographs look so much more colourful than mine!
Anyway, happy Thursday too Ben. Have a great weekend. :-)
I’m stealing “little Friday” :). So funny! Glad you’re still avoiding those coyotes. Aren’t the bunnies cute though? Cookie barks her head off at them but I love watching them scamper around. This pasta sounds SO GOOD! Like David, I can totally see how the figs and prosciutto would be perfect together. It’s a great riff on the classic prosciutto and melon. Have a great weekend!
I remember you posting other pasta recipes with prosciutto, and I remember those sounding so good! Prosciutto wrapped around melons is totally a classic appetizer, so I can see how the prosciutto combined with figs could work here, too. This sounds like my kind of meal, Ben…nice and easy and it includes pasta! (And it doesn’t include lavender…haha!) Glad the weather is finally starting to break up there. Keep a look out for those coyotes though. And make sure to wear your rocket shoes in case they decide to come sniffing around! :-) Have a great weekend, my friend!
