We prefer the flavor of fresh oregano instead of dried for this recipe. Ingredients:
1 (16-oz.) package penne pasta |
1/4 pound prosciutto, chopped |
1/4 cup olive oil |
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 (2-oz.) package pine nuts, lightly toasted |
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano |
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper |
1/4 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and keep warm.
2. Cook prosciutto in hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat 8 minutes or until crisp. Add tomatoes and next 7 ingredients; cook, stirring often, 5 minutes or until tomatoes are tender. Toss with warm cooked pasta. Serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
