Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine vinegar, 1/3 cup water, and dried tomatoes.
Heat, covered, in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until steaming, about 45 seconds.
Let stand, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 3 quarts water to a boil.
Add the penne pasta and cook until it's barely tender to bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
As pasta cooks, lay prosciutto strips on a microwave-safe plate and heat in a microwave oven at full power (100%), stirring once, just until hot, 15 to 20 seconds.
Also, pour canned tomatoes into a strainer over a large bowl, then chop the tomatoes and add to juices in bowl.
Add dried tomatoes and soaking liquid, garlic, parsley, pasta, and olive oil.
Mix, and add prosciutto and 1/4 cup cheese.
Mix again, and add salt, pepper, and more cheese to taste.
