Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1/3 cup vodka
1/4 tsp crushed red peppercorns
1/4 lb prosciutto, minced (the best you can find)
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/3 cup heavy cream

Directions:

Soak the peppercorns in the vodka. Meanwhile, saute the onion, garlic, and proscuitto in the olive oil in a medium saucepan. When the onion is clear, add the vodka and peppercorn mixture. Cook over medium heat until most of the alcohol evaporates (the smell of the steam will let you know). Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, and oregano and simmer for at least an hour. Just before serving, stir in the heavy cream just until heated. Serve over penne (or your favorite pasta) with fresh grated parmesan and crusty bread.
