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
Melt butter in small saucepan, and gently sauté the strips of meat.
Stir in tomato purée.
Add stock and simmer for about 5 minutes.
5 minutes
Serve over rice or toss with pasta.
