Ingredients:

Serving

5 cans cento italian tomatoes (imported from italy. they can be found in many grocery stores.)
6 cloves garlic
2 tsp good virgin olive oil
1/2 lb prosciutto ham, cut in small cubes
5 tsp fresh basil
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:

Place olive oil in a large soup pot.
Add garlic and simmer about one minute, do not let it brown.
Put tomatoes in blender and blend briefly to smooth out the tomatoes.
Then add to garlic.
Cut Italian ham in chunks.
When I order this from the Deli, I have them cut it in 1/2 lb slab.
Add basil and crushed red pepper flakes.
Let simmer about 6 hours.
I always check the richness of the sauce by putting a spoonful in a clean bowl, let it sit for about 5 minutes and if water is seperating from the sauce, continue to simmer.
