"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Prepare all ingredients
Heat 2-3 2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil (enough to cover bottom of pan)
Add onion to pan & cook for 2-3 minutes (stir)
Add garlic & prosciutto - cook 2-3 mins (stirring so it won't stick)
Carefully add vodka - stir & heat for 20-30 seconds
Add Chicken broth, tomato sauce, basil, parsley, red pepper & stir
Heat until simmering well - (not raging boil) simmer for 10-15 minutes
Add cream to sauce and heat back to a simmer (I usually start cooking the cream when the pasta is about half done)
Add cheese to the sauce & stir (cheese will stick! watch it!)
Drain pasta but don't rinse it & add sauce
