SKILLET FRESH PROSCIUTTO, TOMATO AND BASIL PASTA

Steps:

• 3. Add sliced tomatoes, basil, parsley and wine and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• 4. Pour over pasta, toss, and serve!
• 5. 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.
• 6. 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.
