The pasta with potatoes and prosciutto is a first course with a unique and irresistible flavor. This recipe is made with simple ingredients: potatoes, prosciutto crudo, olive oil and chili pepper. I drained the pasta a couple of minutes before the suggested cooking time and finished cooking it together with the sauce, adding breadcrumbs. Finally I served the pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan. The result was more than successful — finger-licking good!

Preparation
To make the Pasta with potatoes and prosciutto, peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes; dice the slice of prosciutto crudo as well.
Pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the chopped chili pepper into a skillet, place over the heat and warm slightly.
Add the prosciutto and the potatoes, salt, and cover with hot water. Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted boiling water; drain it a couple of minutes before the package cooking time is up. Pour the pasta into the pot with the potatoes and prosciutto and add a sprinkle of breadcrumbs. If the sauce has reduced too much, add 1 tablespoon of the pasta cooking water.
Toss for a couple of minutes until the pasta is well combined with the sauce. Serve with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or grated Pecorino, and enjoy!
