A bowl of Skillet Fresh Prosciutto, Tomato, and Basil Pasta.

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.

Ingredients

1/2 pound prosciutto, cut into shreds
1 tablespoon butter
1 - onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 large tomatoes, sliced into thin wedges
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (or more, if you like basil)

1 pound spaghetti, cooked al dente

How To Make skillet fresh prosciutto, tomato, and basil pasta

Step 1

In a large frying pan, toss prosciutto in 1 Tbsp butter until browned.

Step 2

Add onion and garlic and sauté briefly, until just tender.
Step 3

Add sliced tomatoes, basil, parsley, and wine.
Step 4

Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Step 5

Pour over pasta, toss, and serve!
Step 6

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.
Step 7

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.
