Yield Makes 6 (main course) or 8 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (3 ounces)
1 pound penne
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bring cream, 1 1/2 cups cheese, 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon salt just to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  • Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, until al dente, then drain in a colander. Return pasta to pot, then stir in parmesan cream and prosciutto, tossing to coat. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart shallow flameproof gratin or baking dish (about 11 by 8 by 2 inches; not glass) and bake 15 minutes.
  • Stir pasta well to coat evenly with sauce, then sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese.
  • Turn on broiler and broil pasta 4 to 5 inches from heat until top is lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm plums: Look for plums that are free of blemishes and bruises. They should be slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy.
  • Use a variety of plums: To add different flavors and textures to your dish, use a mix of different plum varieties. Some good options include black plums, red plums, and yellow plums.
  • Spice it up: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. In addition to the spices listed in the recipe, you could also try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper, paprika, or cumin.
  • Don't overcook the plums: The plums should be cooked until they are softened, but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Parmesan and prosciutto spiced plums are best served immediately. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can cook them and then reheat them gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Parmesan and prosciutto spiced plums are a delicious and elegant appetizer or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With their sweet and savory flavors, these plums are sure to impress your guests.
