Preparation
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large saucepan. Saute the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic for about 2 minutes. Add the prosciutto. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add all of the remaining ingredients, except the parsley and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat. Simmer the sauce for 10-12 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half.
Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the sauce and toss to coat. Add the parsley and Parmesan cheese. Toss. Serve immediately.
