Ok, it's been a while since I made this, but, thank goodness I take good notes : ) Made this for myself one Friday evening (my bf had plans or else I wouldn't have made it - he doesn't care for vodka sauce). I thought this was "OK". Certainly not deserving of 5 stars IMHO. A good friend of mine (who is a GREAT Italian cook) makes her vodka sauce with crushed tomatoes (only change made), so I decided to make mine with crushed as well (28 oz. can). I think that may have ruined this recipe.... Regardless, I didn't care for the taste, but maybe it's just me (vodka sauce is not my favorite, but I DO enjoy it from time to time). I could barely taste the prosciutto or basil (which is unusual as basil imparts a strong flavor). After purchasing all of the ingredients, this turned out to be a very expensive meal for one, especially considering that I didn't eat the leftovers. Thank goodness I had vodka on hand (Smirnoff). My grocery bill would have doubled!!! Served with a Pepperidge Farms Artisan Rosemary olive oil mini loaf (found in my grocer's frozen section). Edible, but won't make again. Sorry!

This bread is heaven sent. I followed the recipe exactly and it was so good! (I'm not the world's best bread maker either.) I think I'm going to make this every week and play with it. Thanks so much!

We recently moved overseas and are staying in a hotel until we find housing. I have two burners to cook with and my dutch oven. I made this recipe in my dutch oven on the stovetop. I cooked on med/lo for 3-4 hours. Followed the recipe with the exception my roast was 3 lbs. Turned out wonderful and everyone liked it.
