RECIPE: Pasta with Zucchini and Prosciutto - Lite

20 years ago

I forgot about this recipe, but have dusted it off to bring to a friends house this weekend for a pasta party.

I think I got it out of Cooking Light a zillion years ago.

In todays world, you can use whole-wheat pasta and make it totally dietetically correct!

Pardon me if I've posted it before. :)

Enjoy.
