Whenever I cook anything with prosciutto, I always think of Fancy Nancy. My daughter is really into this series of books about a girl named Nancy who LOVES anything that looks or sounds fancy. I can just imagine her saying "Ooo-La-La" to a meal that has prosciutto in it.
When you are short on time, cooking white fish for dinner is the way to go! 8 minutes and you are DONE. Plus, this menu has minimal ingredients, so you should have a meal for 4 that cost you under $10. Serve with Roasted Zucchini and Potatoes that are baked to perfection with a crunchy exterior and soft on the inside.

We sure liked this recipe. The cod with prosciutto gave a little more taste to the fish. I added a little black forest ham because I didn't have enough of prosciutto.
That was ok too. The roasted parmesan potatoes and zucchini I will make many times. Both of us liked it.
