Chop the prosciutto and onions, and mince the garlic.

Add the prosciutto to the pan, and cook for 10 minutes. The prosciutto will become crispy and the fat will render off.
Once crispy, remove the prosciutto with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
Add more olive oil spray to the pan, and add the chopped onion.
Sauté the onion for 5 minutes, or until they become translucent and begin to brown.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes.
Cook for 1 minute until the garlic turns fragrant, then add the wine and tomatoes.
Let the mixture come to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for about 10 more minutes.
Stir in the fresh basil and parsley, and the cooked prosciutto.
Add your cooked pasta and toss to coat.
