Conchiglie con ProscuittoProscuitto is the King of Italian hams, it's salted and air dried with the right amount of time. Each region and city prepares proscuitto in a slightly different way depending on the seasoning and the climate. This delicious ham melts in your mouth. The saltiness of the ham blends well with the shelled pasta and nutty garlic.

I don't think I've ever seen that shape of pasta before, it looks really good! I love anything that involves prosciutto.
ReplyDeleteHi Sara, Any shelled pasta will do, this imported pasta called conchiglic, meaning is shell. You and I both Prosciutto rules! Thank You
ReplyDeleteYour description that the prosciutto melts in your mouth is spot-on. There is nothing like good quality prosciutto to enhance just about any pasta dish.
ReplyDeleteProsciutto rules where ever we choose!
