Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook package until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining. Place pasta back into the pot once drained.

Meanwhile, add olive oil to a non-stick pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy. Remove from pan and set aside on paper towel.

Reduce heat to medium and add garlic to pan. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant and starting to brown. Add cream to pan and season with salt and pepper. (The cream should become hot, but not boiled at any point). Add reserved 1/2 cup of pasta water and parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese has melted.

Add sauce to pasta pot and toss to fully coat pasta. Add basil and toss gently to mix in.

Divide between bowls and top with further parmesan if desired.
