Prosciutto e melone is one of my favorite summertime dishes! A simple recipe of prosciutto and cantaloupe, this dish dates to ancient Roman times when they would eat cured meat with fruit in order to boost the immune system. The current recipe was written about later by the father of modern Italian cuisine, Pellegrino Artusi. Now it is a summertime favorite to be enjoyed at home or out with friends at your favorite trattoria or ristorante. Buon appetito!
