Step:
In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in olive oil, over medium heat, until soft
Add prosciutto and cook about 1 minute
Add vodka, turn UP heat to med-hi, and cook until booze burns out, about 4 minutes
LOWER heat to medium-low and add crushed tomatoes and paste, stir
Add pepper, salts, and sugar, stir
Turn UP heat until boiling (watch!) then lower heat to low. Cook 1 hour, stirring occasionally
Add cream, half a cup at a time until desired flavor is reached. I usually use just under a full quart
Let simmer until bubbling, and add any extra salt or pepper desired. Stir. Turn off heat
Add pasta and serve immediately. This makes enough sauce for about 2 lbs pasta. Enjoy!
