PROSCIUTTO CUPS



Prosciutto Cups image

This is a cute finger food for a party. I buy the proscuitto that's prepackaged in the fancy cheese section of the supermarket. From there I just trim each of the thin slices to fit in the mini muffin tin. Don't be tempted to add salt to the ricotta mixture; the proscuitto is salty enough to carry over. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 lb prosciutto, thinly sliced
1 cup ricotta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the garlic, spinach, and ricotta until well blended. Set aside.
  • Place strips of prociutto into a mini muffin tin so that they line the bottom but there is also some meat hanging out over the sides to look like a flower.
  • Fill each cup with about 1 1/2 TBS of cheese mixture or enough so the cup is full and rounded on the top. The filling should look like the center of the flower.
  • Bake 10-15 minutes, until the prosciutto is browned and stiff to the touch. The cups should be able to retain their shape after they are removed from the tin. Serve warm, not hot.

PERCIATELLI WITH TOMATO AND PROSCIUTTO SAUCE



Perciatelli with Tomato and Prosciutto Sauce image

This version of a classic Italian pasta dish is prepared with prosciutto, as was often done in Italian-American restaurants. For a more traditional version, substitute 6 ounces of guanciale (cured pork-cheek bacon) or regular bacon cut into 1/4-inch strips for the prosciutto. Cook the guanciale or bacon in the skillet with the olive oil before adding the onion. Cook until lightly browned but still soft, about 4 minutes for the guanciale or 2 minutes for the bacon. Then add the onion and continue with the recipe as below.

Yield makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
One 35-ounce can whole Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
1 pound perciatelli pasta
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 bay leaves
4 ounces imported Italian prosciutto, sliced 1/8 inch thick and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper
1 cup grated mild Pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.
  • Drain the tomatoes and reserve the juice. Cut the tomatoes in quarters lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and cores. Stir the perciatelli into the boiling water. Return to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook the pasta, semi-covered, stirring occasionally, until done, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bay leaves and cook until the onion is wilted but still crunchy, about 4 minutes. Add the prosciutto and stir 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, about 1 cup of the reserved liquid, and the crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer, and cook until the pasta is done.
  • Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta-cooking liquid, then drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add half the sauce and the remaining olive oil. Stir until the sauce is bubbling and the pasta is coated. If necessary, add as much of the reserved pasta-cooking liquid as needed to make enough sauce to coat the pasta lightly but evenly. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the grated cheese. Transfer the pasta to a heated platter or serving bowls and top with the remaining sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the prosciutto and the cheese. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • If you can't find prosciutto cups, you can make your own by wrapping prosciutto slices around small ramekins or muffin tins. Bake them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are crispy.
  • Be careful not to overfill the prosciutto cups. They should be filled about two-thirds full, so that there is room for the filling to expand as it bakes.
  • Bake the prosciutto cups until the filling is hot and bubbly and the prosciutto is crispy. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the prosciutto cups immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They can be filled with a variety of different fillings, making them a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste. Whether you are serving them at a party, a potluck, or just as a snack, prosciutto cups are sure to be a hit.
