Ingredients

½ pound pasta

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

5 ounces tomato paste

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

S&P

Garlic powder

Onion powder

4 slices prosciutto

4 ounces burrata cheese

Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Cook the Pasta

Step 2

Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 c pasta water right before draining.

Step 3

Crisp the Prosciutto

Step 4

While the pasta cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange prosciutto slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 8 min or until crispy.

Step 5

For the Sauce

Step 1

Melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 2

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, until slightly darkened.

Step 3

Stir in the heavy cream, basil and seasonings. Add Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Taste and add additional seasonings.

Step 4

Add 1/4 c pasta water and cooked pasta to the pink sauce and toss to coat. Add a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

Step 5

Top each serving with crispy prosciutto pieces, burrata cheese, and extra parm.
