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.

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

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.
