PASTA WITH PROSCIUTTO AND WHOLE GARLIC
This pasta dish, known as maccheroni alla San Giovanniello in Italy, is amazing in the summer months, when there are good fresh tomatoes around. But you can make it any time of year with canned tomatoes. You could also make it with much less prosciutto, really just enough to season the oil - a quarter cup or so. No matter how much you use, start with a hunk of prosciutto so you can dice chunks; you don't want little thin slices. If you've got great basil, you can even skip the cheese. If you use fresh tomatoes, you can blanch and peel the tomatoes if you don't like the skins, but it's not really necessary.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Combine the oil, garlic, and ham in a medium to large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the garlic becomes deep golden, nearly brown, all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Core and chop the plum tomatoes (or crush the canned tomatoes) and add them, along with salt and pepper, to the skillet. Stir and simmer while you salt the boiling water and cook the pasta.
- Drain the pasta when it is tender but firm, reserving a little of the cooking water and adding it to the sauce if it appears dry (quite likely if you used fresh tomatoes). Toss the pasta with the sauce and most of the basil, along with the cheese. Mince the remaining basil, garnish the pasta with it, and serve.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer pasta to large bowl.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto and sauté until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer prosciutto to paper towels. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to same skillet. Add garlic and sauté 15 seconds. Add tomatoes and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in cream, parsley, and 1/2 cup cheese. Bring to boil; season with salt and pepper.
- Add sauce to pasta in bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle with prosciutto and serve, passing additional cheese alongside.
Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Fettuccine is a great choice for this dish because it holds the sauce well and is sturdy enough to withstand the baking process. Other good options include penne, rigatoni, and macaroni.
- Use a flavorful cheese. Parmesan, Gruyère, and Fontina are all good choices for this dish. If you are using a pre-shredded cheese, make sure it is a good quality brand.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the pasta, make sure to use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pot, the pasta will cook unevenly and become mushy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed baking dish. This will help to prevent the pasta from burning on the bottom. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size for this recipe.
- Bake the pasta until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the pasta so that it does not overcook.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine gratinati al prosciutto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy sauce, flavorful cheese, and crispy prosciutto make this dish a hit with everyone who tries it. Next time you are looking for a new pasta dish to try, give fettuccine gratinati al prosciutto a try. You won't be disappointed!
