Ingredients
  • 1 Pound Dried Spaghetti
  • 1 Red Pepper
  • 1/2 Pound Thinly Sliced Prosciutto
  • 8 Fresh, Ripe Figs
  • Tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 6 Tablespoons Freshly Grated Parmesan
  • Fresh Ground Pepper
  • Dash of Salt
  • Additional Grated Cheese For Serving
  • Chopped Green Onions For Serving

Directions
  1. Place the prosciutto over medium heat on the grill and cook about 1 minute per side until it becomes crispy and brown.

  3. Place the pepper on the grill and cook until the skin is blistered. Place in a plastic bag.
