Italian prosciuttos are designated prosciutto cotto, which is cooked, and prosciutto crudo, which is raw but ready to eat because of its curing. Look for golden pink, moist-looking prosciutto with pure white fat.<\/p>\n<p>Use 3 to 4 quarts of water per pound of pasta. Unsalted water will reach a boil faster than salted water, so add salt to rapidly boiling water just before adding the pasta. Use about 1 teaspoon salt for each quart of water.<\/p>\n<p>Adding 1 tablespoon olive oil to the cooking water keeps the water from boiling over.\u00a0 Oil in the water also keeps the pasta from sticking together while cooking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A unique mixture of ground veal, Prosciutto ham, sweet Vidalia onions and green peas give new life to this macaroni and cheese recipe.\u00a0 An exciting mix of spices infuse flavor into the veal.\u00a0 4 types of cheese blend seamlessly.\u00a0 This is a wonderful main dish.
