SALSA DI POMODORI, PROSCIUTTO, E CAPPERI (ITALIAN TOMATO SAUCE)
(Tomato Sauce with Prosciutto and Capers) from Cucina di Calabria. Serve with fresh or dried taglairini (1/4 inch noodles) When I make this I substitute crushed tomato for the chopped because my family likes a smoother tomato sauce. Either is fine.

SALSA DI POMODORO
This spaghetti sauce recipe comes from "Extending the Table", a collection of recipes from around the world. The notes say that it comes from the Sicilian American community. Now I have to tell you, this is a GREAT recipe. My boys (husband and roommate) who will eat anything, but only give 5 stars to the recipes that are in danger of being inhaled, give this one 5 stars. I had to beat my husband to make him stop licking the crockpot! :) It tastes a little sweet, mostly savory, and very herby. Don't use more of the herbs than is listed, or they will overwhelm the sauce, though you can certainly use less.

Steps:
- Saute onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Add meatballs if you wish at this point.
- Bring sauce to a boil. Simmer 2-3 hours to mix the flavors.
- NOTE: This can also be made by placing everything in your slow cooker and simmering all day. This is how I made it. I would recommend sauteing the onions and garlic first. A triple batch filled my BIG (6 qt, I think) crockpot.
- TO FREEZE: Let sauce cool to room temperature, then pour into a labeled freezer bag. Seal, trying to get rid of as much air as possible in the process, and freeze flat. You can freeze with meatballs in or without.
- TO REHEAT: Thaw overnight in the fridge, or in the microwave, or in a bowl of warm water (still sealed in the bag), or just dump in a crockpot or pot on the stove frozen and warm gently.
CAPELLINI POMODORO (PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE)
Years ago, an Italian restaurant served a dish called capellini pomodoro which I ordered often, sometimes adding grilled chicken or shrimp to the pasta. This is my own quick version.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.
- Score a shallow "x" in the bottom of the tomatoes. Add tomatoes to the boiling water and cook uncovered until skin starts to peel off, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Peel tomatoes.
- Transfer peeled tomatoes to a food mill, and process until smooth.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, saving 1/4 cup of the pasta water for the sauce.
- While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add garlic and salt and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pureed tomatoes and as much pasta water as desired. Simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide pasta amongst 4 serving bowls. Top with tomato sauce and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tomatoes on hand, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
- If you like a smooth sauce, you can blend it with an immersion blender or in a regular blender. Just be careful not to over-blend, or you'll end up with a watery sauce.
- To make the sauce extra flavorful, you can add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Serve the sauce over pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for bread or crackers.
Conclusion:
Salsa di Pomodori Prosciutto e Capperi is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this sauce a try!
