Ingredients

• Extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 small onion chopped
• 6 slices prosciutto or pancetta, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• Salt & fresh ground pepper
• 1 large can crushed tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 pound rigatoni pasta
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Few basil leaves

Preparation

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water & bring to a boil

Heat a few drizzles of oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook until soft.
Add the prosciutto and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for one minute. Add the tomatoes and sugar and cook for about 15 minutes.

To the boiling water add a handful of salt and rigatoni. Cook until al dente.

Pour the cream into a mixing bowl and whip with a hand mixer until peaks form. Fold it gently into the tomato sauce.

Drain the rigatoni and add to the sauce. Mix to combine and season, if needed. Add a little basil and serve immediately.
