Instructions: Cut prosciutto or bacon into small pieces. Melt butter and sauteeproscuitto and garlic until lightly browned. Add tomatoes, pepper flakes and salt and cook for 1 hour stirring occasionally.

Keep partially covered so that the sauce can reduce. When sauce has reduced to about half, add heavy cream and vodka, bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Simmer for 1/2 hour and serve over Penne, Rigatoni, or other "shaped" pasta.

NOTE: If sauce becomes too thick, add either more cream or some water.
