Steps:
- The cheese selected here are of the best quality. It's your main ingredient of the sauce, try not to cheat. Parmesean/Romano cheese in a can does not melt at all, because of additives. Highly not recommended.
- Boil water for pasta, cooking until al-dente.
- Slice prosciutto into squares.
- Fine Dice Shallots.
- Grate Cheeses.
- Melt butter in a generous sized cooking pan (pan with sides) on low heat. Add shallots and cook till tender/translucent. Add salt and pepper to taste (remember there's alot of salt in these cheeses.) Add heavy cream, stirring constantly until the cream almost boils. Remove from heat. Add drained pasta into pan with cheeses. Stir until you've found decadence in a pan!
- Soon as I can I'll post a picture, but with green pasta, use a white or cream colored serving dish and garnish with parsley and a few ribbons of parmasean cheese! Bon appetito! (cooking time depends really on your pasta choice).
- Variations:.
- For example, skip proscuitto and cook shrimp in sauce before adding pasta and cheese. OMG! Add cooked diced chicken breast. Try pancetta or bacon instead of prosciutto. Use with tortellini? Add Mozarella cheese on top of individual servings and bake it under a 450* pre-heated oven for 10-15 min until mozarella is melted and just starting to brown.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm zucchini: Look for zucchini that is deep green in color and free of blemishes. The zucchini should feel heavy for its size.
- Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the zucchini slices so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding will cause the zucchini to steam instead of roast.
- Roast the zucchini until tender: The zucchini should be tender when pierced with a fork, but still slightly firm. Roasting time will vary depending on the thickness of the zucchini slices.
- Serve immediately: Roasted zucchini is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano.
Conclusion:
Roasted zucchini with Parmesan cheese and prosciutto is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add other vegetables to the roasting pan, such as red peppers or mushrooms. You can also use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or fontina. No matter how you choose to make it, roasted zucchini with Parmesan cheese and prosciutto is sure to be a hit!
