SUMMER FRESH PASTA WITH TOMATOES AND PROSCIUTTO
A quick, easy, and flavorful fresh pasta dish that showcases the summer's garden bounty! This recipe came about in an effort to use up a few more of those wonderful home-grown tomatoes and fresh basil. Everything was on hand and was easy to throw together. For garlic lovers, the second time I made this dish I used a garlic-infused olive oil; amazing! A crisp green salad is the perfect accompaniment. Enjoy!

PASTA WITH PROSCIUTTO AND WHOLE GARLIC
This pasta dish, known as maccheroni alla San Giovanniello in Italy, is amazing in the summer months, when there are good fresh tomatoes around. But you can make it any time of year with canned tomatoes. You could also make it with much less prosciutto, really just enough to season the oil - a quarter cup or so. No matter how much you use, start with a hunk of prosciutto so you can dice chunks; you don't want little thin slices. If you've got great basil, you can even skip the cheese. If you use fresh tomatoes, you can blanch and peel the tomatoes if you don't like the skins, but it's not really necessary.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Combine the oil, garlic, and ham in a medium to large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the garlic becomes deep golden, nearly brown, all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Core and chop the plum tomatoes (or crush the canned tomatoes) and add them, along with salt and pepper, to the skillet. Stir and simmer while you salt the boiling water and cook the pasta.
- Drain the pasta when it is tender but firm, reserving a little of the cooking water and adding it to the sauce if it appears dry (quite likely if you used fresh tomatoes). Toss the pasta with the sauce and most of the basil, along with the cheese. Mince the remaining basil, garnish the pasta with it, and serve.

Steps:
- In a kettle cook the garlic and the red pepper flakes in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened, add the tomatoes, and boil the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until it is thickened and the liquid is reduced to a thick purée. Stir in the chopped basil and salt and pepper to taste.

Whisk in the Parmesan, whisking until the mixture is smooth, whisk the mixture into the tomato mixture, whisking until the sauce is combined well, and keep the sauce warm.
- In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the asparagus for 2 minutes, add the broccoli and the zucchini, and cook the vegetables, for 2 minutes. Add the peas, cook the vegetables for 1 minute, and add the snow peas. Cook the vegetables for 30 seconds, or until they are all just tender, transfer them with a slotted spoon or sieve to the sauce, and toss them gently to coat them with the sauce.
- Return the cooking liquid in the kettle to a boil, in it cook the pasta until it is al dente, and drain it well.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh herbs, flavorful prosciutto, and sweet peppers make all the difference in this dish. Choose the best ingredients you can find for the best results.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the prosciutto and peppers, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and has a better texture than overcooked pasta.
- Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese you use in this dish should be flavorful and complement the other ingredients. Some good options include Parmesan, Asiago, or Pecorino Romano.
- Serve immediately: Pasta with prosciutto, peppers, and herbs is best served immediately after it is made. This will ensure that the pasta is hot and the flavors are fresh.
