Notes from Nourishible editors
Written by our recipe team from the video and the method above.
- Our take · Step 3: The prosciutto is there for nostalgia. The creator says the sauce is perfect without it, so leave it out if you like.
- Technique · Step 6: Reduce the tomato puree to a near-paste first. That concentrates it, so the cream loosens it into a sauce instead of watering it down.
- Technique · Step 7: Keep the heat low once the cream is in. Hard boiling can make a cream-and-tomato sauce split and turn greasy. → Heavy Cream
