Cooking Tip

Peppered Ham

If you don’t have prosciutto then you can use peppered ham instead.

Cooking Tip

Parmesan Cheese

Do not use the pre-grated parmesan cheese that you find in the pasta aisle. Make sure when you make this recipe you either buy the fresh grated parmesan or you get a chunk of parmesan from your deli counter and shred it yourself. It really makes the meal if you use fresh parmesan.
