Ingredients
- 2 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, cored, seeded and finely chopped
- 3 ounces (1/2 cup) oil-cured olives, pitted and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound whole wheat penne pasta
- 14 ounces (about 1 pint) ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces (about 8 thin slices) prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup firmly packed basil leaves, torn into small pieces
- 1 ounce (1/3 cup) grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Method
Place tomatoes, olives, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large non-reactive bowl and mix well.
Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 2 and up to 6 hours.
The salt will draw out the juices from the tomatoes.
Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain.
Mix ricotta, prosciutto and basil into the fresh tomato mixture.
Add the hot cooked pasta and stir to coat pasta with sauce.
Top with Pecorino Romano and serve immediately.
