Ham Sauce (Modern) Recipe

Italy

Ham sauce (in Italian, Salsa di Prosciutto) is a relatively quick and simple sauce used to coat pasta or served over rice. It should not be confused for a glaze for baked ham—rather, it is a sauce on its own that incorporates ham.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 oz ham or prosciutto, cut into strips
  • 1 tsp tomato purée
  • 1 oz butter
  • 2 cups vegetable or meat stock

Procedure

  1. Melt butter in small saucepan, and gently sauté the strips of meat.
  2. Stir in tomato purée.
  3. Add stock and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Serve over rice or toss with pasta.
