Absolutely Delicious Pasta Sauce

• 14 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tbsp for the skillet
• 3 tablespoons butter, plus 1 tbsp for the skillet
• 12 white onion, finely diced
• 6 garlic cloves (pressed or diced)
• 12 cup grape tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
• 23 cup canned tomato sauce (marinara is fine)
• 12 tablespoon garlic salt (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 12 cup ricotta cheese (I used part skim)
• 13 cup jarred pesto sauce (I used Classico brand)
• 4 slices prosciutto, chopped
• 1 sprinkling pine nuts

1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter on high heat.
2. Add onions, garlic and tomatoes and sautee, stirring occasionally until onions and garlic begin to brown (about 2 minutes).
3. Reduce heat to medium and stir in tomato sauce, remaining butter and olive oil until butter is melted.
4. Stir in garlic salt, cracked pepper, crushed red pepper, and oregano.
5. Add remaining ingredients, stir until incorporated and turn off heat immediately.
6. You don't want the proscuitto to cook too long since it is already a smoked meat.
7. I served this over orecchiette, but it would be nice over penne or farfale as well.
