One of favourites - easy to make and really delicious. But be sure to use only fresh basil and parmesan cheese!

"This was an excellent,easy recipe. My family enjoyed it a lot. I just added a little bit of garlic powder to it and it gave it just a little bit more of kick. I will be making this dish again."

Just before penne is ready, heat oil in a saucepan or skillet large enough to hold all the ingredients. Add crushed red chilis and heat for about 1 minute.

When pasta is ready, remove from water with a slotted spoon, drain well and add to oil and chilis. Stir to coat pasta then add prosciutto, basil and cheese. Mix thoroughly and serve immediately.
