Simple Dinner: Prosciutto & Pasta

Prosciutto & Pasta

Serves: 1-2

Ingredients:
Prosciutto - 4-6 slices, ~2-3 oz, cut into thin slices
Pasta - 1/3 box
Garlic - 2-3 cloves, minced

[optional]
Tomatoes - 1-2 small, de-seeded and chopped
Cheese - Parmesan, Romano and Asiago
Butter

1. Cook pasta in boiling water until desired tenderness. Drain and side aside.
2. Heat olive oil in pan (you don't need a lot because the proscuitto is already fatty) and toss in garlic.  Cook for 1-2 min and toss in proscuitto. Cook for 1 min and toss in pasta. Mix well and serve. Season with salt and pepper, top with cheese and tomatoes (and optional butter for kick of flavor) and enjoy!
