Salsa Di Pomodori, Prosciutto, E Capperi (Italian Tomato Sauce) image

(Tomato Sauce with Prosciutto and Capers) from Cucina di Calabria. Serve with fresh or dried taglairini (1/4 inch noodles) When I make this I substitute crushed tomato for the chopped because my family likes a smoother tomato sauce. Either is fine.

The sauce was delicious, but it was a bit too salty for me. I'll use less prosciutto next time.

This sauce is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of sugar next time.

This tomato sauce is incredibly flavorful and versatile. I used it as a pasta sauce, but it would also be great on chicken, fish, or vegetables.
