Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the Parmesan cheese and prosciutto.
Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
Use a large skillet: This will help to ensure that the pasta and sauce are evenly cooked.
Don't crowd the pan: If you add too much pasta to the pan, it will not cook evenly. Add the pasta in batches if necessary.
Stir the pasta frequently: This will help to prevent it from sticking together.
Add the sauce to the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked, add the sauce and stir to combine. Cook for another minute or two, or until the sauce is heated through.
Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
