Ingredients

1 pound ziti rigate
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (15-ounce) can, crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 pinches ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper
3 ounces prosciutto, 1 thick slice from deli, chopped
1/4 to 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Softened butter to coat a medium casserole or baking dish

Directions

Bring large pot of water to boil, then salt and cook pasta to al dente on the chewy side, 7 minutes. Once your pasta water comes to a boil to cook ziti, preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

To medium skillet over medium heat add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Cook onions and garlic in oil 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and bring to a bubble. Add cream and season sauce with cinnamon, salt and pepper. Add chopped prosciutto to sauce and stir with cooked pasta to combine. Coat a medium casserole with the butter. Adjust seasonings and transfer pasta to casserole. Cover pasta with Parmigiano-Reggiano and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve hot from oven.

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

i made this and i it turned out to be a hit the only thing is that i would def double up on the sauce because it was def not... enough to cover the amount of pasta that was called for in this recipe overall i would make again.Read more

Quick, easy, and delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the first Rachel Ray recipe I have tried and it was fantastic! The cinnamon is a nice touch. Went ahead and made a... few minor changes based on some of the reviews. I used penne rigate instead of ziti, diced tomatoes instead of crushed, and 4 oz of Boar's Head Prosciutto Piccolo (only thing available at the deli counter...and only 3 bucks!). I took it out of the oven at between 8 and 10 minutes. The top dried out just a little bit, but it was plenty moist underneath. It didn't really matter as it got mixed around a bit on my plate as I was eating. I didn't find the dish to be all that 'dry' as some have stated....its just not swimming in sauce. To each his/her own. Give it a try....its quick, easy, and delicious!Read more

Yum Yum!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my husband and I and we loved it. I did use diced tomatoes instead of crushed and I think it helped keep the... sauce from being to watery. I added a little extra cheese as well. Read more

Delicious and Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish was so easy to make and tasted amazing. The hint of cinnamon combined with the prosciutto and sauce was incredible.... I added a little bit more crushed tomato and cream than the recipe called for since I was worried it might be too dry otherwise. Looking forward to the leftovers...Read more

Very Yummy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for a small dinner party. I did, however, remake it to be a bit healthier. First I used whole wheat... pasta and I used fat free half and half in the sauce. I also threw some hot pepper flakes into the sauce for a little bite. It was delicious.Read more
