Blue Ribbon Recipe

A very simple, no-frills pasta dinner to throw together with ripe summer tomatoes. The fresh tomatoes and basil are a classic summertime flavor. Cooking everything down in a little bit of red wine adds a nice, robust flavor to the sauce. There's just enough prosciutto to give a nice salty flavor and a bit of heartiness. This dinner comes together quickly and can be made any night of the week.

    NOTE: This is a simple recipe that can be adjusted to your individual tastes. You can add more prosciutto or tomatoes as you like, but I would increase the red wine a little as you increase the other ingredients.

    NOTE: when you buy your prosciutto at the deli, they will try to put pieces of paper/plastic in between the slices. Tell them not to do this, as you are going to roll up the prosciutto and cut it up. It makes it a lot harder if you have to peel the slices off the paper/plastic first.
