This pasta with prosciutto and tomatoes is a quick, easy, and flavorful dish that showcases the summer's garden bounty. This recipe came about in an effort to use up a few more of those wonderful homegrown tomatoes and fresh basil. Everything was on hand and was easy to throw together. For garlic lovers, I used garlic-infused olive oil the second time I made this dish, which was amazing! A crisp green salad is the perfect accompaniment.

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package angel hair pasta

  • 4 tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 large shallot, thinly sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced

  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips

  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water. Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl.

  2. Place tomatoes in a medium bowl; season with sea salt and black pepper. Pour 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil over tomato mixture and toss gently; set aside.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot in hot oil until it begins to turn translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat.

  4. Add shallot mixture, tomato mixture, and prosciutto to pasta; toss to combine. Use reserved cooking water to make mixing easier.

  5. Top pasta with basil and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese to serve.
