In a medium sauce pan- saute prosciutto in about 1 tbsp. of olive oil until slightly crispy. Add shallots and saute until translucent. Add garlic and saute about 1 minute ( don't burn it because it becomes bitter). Add the vodka and simmer about 5 minutes to dissipate alcohol. Add the rest of the olive oil, tomato sauce, tomatoes, and red pepper and simmer on low/medium heat another 20 minutes until alcohol is completely dissipated. Add salt if desired. Slowly add cream (you may add a little more or a little less than 1/2 pint of cream to achieve desired consistancy). Heat on low until sauce is warmed through-do not boil. In a large pasta bowl, combine sauce with penne which has been cooked according to package directions. Garnish with parsley and fresh parmesan cheese.
