Penne With Tomato Prosciutto Sauce image

A lovely savory pasta dish with ham. Use as a first course or main dish. Make the sauce in the morning to allow it to sit for 8 hours. It truly does need to blend the flavors. Prep time does not include 8 hours sitting time.

Categories     Penne

Time 30m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

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 with juice, drained, reserving juice, and finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1 lb penne rigate
parmigiano-reggiano cheese (shavings or finely grated) (optional)

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.

This recipe was a disaster. The sauce was way too salty and the prosciutto was tough.

This dish was a little bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't add enough salt.

I thought the prosciutto was a bit too salty, but other than that this was a great recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of penne, but this dish changed my mind. The sauce was so rich and creamy, and the prosciutto gave it a nice crispy texture.

This penne with tomato prosciutto sauce was a hit with my family! The sauce was flavorful and the prosciutto added a nice salty touch.
