INGREDIENTS

MAKES FOUR SERVINGS

• 1 lb. Sfoglini Trumpets
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 oz prosciutto, diced into approx. 1/2" pieces (omit for a vegetarian dish)
• 1 medium onion, minced (about 1 cup)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup good quality vodka
• 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chiffonade, plus more for serving

• salt & pepper

DIRECTIONS

Boil Sfoglini Trumpets according to package instructions and drain when al dente, reserving 1 cup of water. 

In a saucepan, heat olive oil and then add onion and prosciutto. Sauté until onion is translucent and prosciutto is starting to crisp a bit, about 5 minutes. Add garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant but not brown, about 1 minute. Stir in vodka and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the tomatoes, cream and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Over low heat, add Sfoglini Trumpets, basil and cheese to the saucepan and stir gently to combine. Add 1-2 tbsp reserved water if needed to loosen the sauce. Garnish with additional fresh basil and parmesan cheese.
