1 yellow onion
1/4 lb. (4 oz) prosciutto or pancetta

Directions:
1.Set a large pot of water over high heat.
2. Dice the onion & proscuitto.
3. Once the water starts boiling add the tomatoes, 2-3 at a time, for about 60 sec. each. Remove tomatoes with a slotted spoon & let them cool on a large cutting board. Add the dry pasta to the same pot of boiling water to cook following directions on package for timing.
4. heat a large saute pan over medium high heat & add olive oil.
5. Once the oil heats up, add the diced procscuitto, onion & red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
6. Meanwhile peel, seed & chop the tomatoes. With a dull knife score the skin on each tomato & then peel it off. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise & gently squeeze each one over a bowl to get the seeds out. It is okay if there are still a few seeds left in there. Cut out top of core. Roughly chop into pieces and add to the onion/proscuitto mixture.
7. Cook & mash tomato mixture with the back of a wooden spoon until slightly thickened (8-10 minutes)
8. Pour sauce over well drained pasta, garnish with parmesan cheese & fresh basil
