Penne with Vodka Cream Sauce and Prosciutto

Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the penne for about 11 minutes until tender yet firm; drain and set aside.

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil on medium and sauté prosciutto, garlic, and red pepper flakes for 1 minute.

Combine the tomatoes, stir, and cook for 3 minutes.

Pour in the cream and vodka; simmer until the sauce thickens (about 15 minutes).

When the sauce is ready, mix in Parmesan and basil. Season with salt to taste.

Add penne to the sauce and toss until evenly coated.
