    Recipe Introduction


    Yield: 4 servings (about 10 cups)

    List of Ingredients




    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
    1 cup finely diced prosciutto (about 6 ounces)
    1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
    1/4 cup cognac or brandy
    1 cup tomato sauce
    3 cups heavy cream
    1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
    1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
    1 pound penne, cooked according to package directions and drained
    1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano cheese, for garnish

    Recipe



    Heat oil in a large saute pan or Dutch oven; add onion, prosciutto
    and parsley. Cook until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes.

    Remove the pan from the heat; add cognac, scraping the bottom of the
    pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any brown bits. Return the pan to
    the heat.

    Add tomato sauce and cream, stirring until well incorporated; cook to
    reduce slightly. Add salt and pepper. Add cooked penne; simmer,
    tossing, until pasta is hot and thoroughly coated. Pour onto a
    platter and serve immediately, garnished with Parmigiano.
