Ingredients

Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium red onion, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dry basil
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1 1/4 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound prosciutto, finely chopped
28-ounce can diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

In a large saucepan over medium-high, combine the olive oil, garlic, red onion, paprika, basil and oregano. Saute until the onion is tender and seasonings are fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Add the ground beef and prosciutto. Continue to saute until the beef is cooked through and the proscuitto begins to brown, about 8 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and any juices, tomato paste and vinegar and bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, to let the flavors combine. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted, then season with salt and pepper.
