You like recipes don't you?

Okay, so Christy from the Sisterhood insisted that I post a recipe that I have on my menu for this week. I can't guarantee it's any good. It's a new recipe for me. I haven't tried it, but it looks delicious. And because I hate to plagiarize it's from Real Simple magazine's April 2011 issue (yes, I'm a little behind reading the recipes and actually making them - don't judge me!). And I'll apologize in advance for the formatting. I'm sure it's screwed up. Blogger hates me. Any tech-savvy people out there wanna help me figure out why???
Pea, Feta, and Crispy Proscuitto Salad
Hands-on time 10 minutes, Total time 15 minutes, Serves 4
2 thin slices proscuitto (2 ounces)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 pounds fresh peas in the pod, shelled (about 2 cups) or 2 cups frozen peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces Feta, crumbled (1/2 cup)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Place the proscuitto in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until beginning to darken, 10 to 12 minutes, Let cool (the proscuitto will crisp as it cools), then crumble.
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes (1 to 2 minutes if frozen). Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
In a large bowl, toss the peas with the oil, Feta, scallions, proscuitto and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
