In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 quarts of salted
water. Cook pasta until al dente, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized saute pan, heat the oil until warm. Since
the bread crumbs will cook quickly, you don't want to add them into
a hot pan, otherwise they can burn. Add the breadcrumbs and stir constantly.
Season lightly with salt and pepper since flavored bread crumbs may
already have seasoning. Saute for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat
and set aside.
Drain pasta in a colander. Working quickly, add pasta to the saute
pan and stir to combine. Add Parmesan and the chopped prosciutto.
Mix thoroughly. Pour into large serving bowl and garnish with chopped
parsley.
