2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons shredded prosciutto -- or pancetta (optional)
1 medium onion -- finely chopped
1 garlic clove -- chopped

Heat the olive oil in a small heavy skillet, and saute the prosciutto, if using, onion, garlic, and potato over medium heat until onion and potato begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes.

AuthorNote: this is one of my favorite tomato sauce recipes - the one I sued in testing all the Italian recipes in this book. I often double the recipe and store half in the freezer.
