"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

prosciutto sauce. Serve it over a pound or so of your favorite
macaroni.

1. Warm the oil in a nonreactive large pot over medium heat. Add the
garlic and onion and cook until the onion is translucent, 5 minutes.
Add the prosciutto and cook for 5 minutes. Add the juice from the
tomatoes. Using your hands or a fork, break up the whole tomatoes and
add to the pot. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

2. Stir in the basil, parsley, wine and pepper flakes, season with
salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 1 hour.

3. Remove the sauce from the heat. Whisk in the butter until melted.

Makes 3 1/2 cups, serves 4.
