Combine the raisins and the boiling water.
Let stand until plump, about 10 minutes.
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat.
Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the farfalle until just done, about 15 minutes.
Drain. Toss with the pine nuts, raisins, spinach mixture, prosciutto, salt, pepper, and Parmesan.
Variations: Replace the pine nuts with walnuts.: Substitute Swiss chard for the spinach.
Wine Recommendation: A fragrant and spicy gewrztraminer from the Alto Adige makes an unlikely but tasty mate for this pasta.
