This easy and impressive pasta is always on the menu when my husband and I invite first-time guests over for dinner. Many friends have asked me to make the recipe again years after they first tried it. —Cara Langer, Overland Park, Kansas
Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Test Kitchen's Tip: Use a large pot with plenty of salted water to keep pasta from sticking together when cooking. Add a little cooking oil if desired (this also prevents boiling over).
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, cook and stir for one minute. Add the prosciutto and cook it for two minutes longer. Stir in the tomatoes, vodka, salt and pepper flakes. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for five minutes. Stir in the cream and cook it two to three minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
Drain the pasta. Add the pasta and cheese to the sauce and toss them to combine.
