Recipe Tips
If you don't have prosciutto, you can also use bacon or even sausage.
To make the sauce thicker, add a tablespoon or two of tomato paste.
We make this with penne pasta but another type of pasta will work just fine!
Substitutes for vodka include water, apple cider, or white grape juice mixed with lime juice.
