Step:

  1. In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in olive oil, over medium heat, until soft

  2. Add prosciutto and cook about 1 minute

  3. Add vodka, turn UP heat to med-hi, and cook until booze burns out, about 4 minutes

  4. LOWER heat to medium-low and add crushed tomatoes and paste, stir

  5. Add pepper, salts, and sugar, stir

  6. Turn UP heat until boiling (watch!) then lower heat to low. Cook 1 hour, stirring occasionally

  7. Add cream, half a cup at a time until desired flavor is reached. I usually use just under a full quart

  8. Let simmer until bubbling, and add any extra salt or pepper desired. Stir. Turn off heat

  9. Add pasta and serve immediately. This makes enough sauce for about 2 lbs pasta. Enjoy!
