Yield Makes 8 (pasta course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, finely chopped (2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
6 ounces thinly sliced fine-quality prosciutto, such as Prosciutto di Parma, finely chopped and separated into pieces (1 1/2 cups)
2 (28-ounce) cans Italian plum tomatoes in juice, drained, reserving juice, and finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound penne rigate
Accompaniment: Parmigiano-Reggiano (shavings or finely grated )

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wide heavy medium pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onion until golden, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until golden, about 1 minute. Add prosciutto and sauté until golden, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes with reserved juice, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool, uncovered, then chill, covered, at least 8 hours (to allow flavors to develop).
  • Cook penne in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until al dente. Drain well.
  • While pasta cooks, reheat sauce over medium heat.
  • Toss pasta with some of sauce in a serving bowl and serve remaining sauce on the side.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of prosciutto, but I'm so glad I did! The sauce was amazing and the prosciutto added just the right amount of flavor.
