Preparation
Melt butter in large skillet set over medium-high heat; cook onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms and garlic for 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are softened.
Add pork and prosciutto; cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until starting to brown.
Stir in wine; bring to boil. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until most of the wine has evaporated. Stir in broth, Canadian cream, rosemary, sage and chili flakes; return to boil. Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle flour over top; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes or until thickened. Remove rosemary sprigs.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
Toss pasta with sauce. Toss with Canadian Parmesan cheese and 1 tbsp (15 mL) parsley. Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
