Some years ago, there used to be a popular cafe in downtown Palo Alto (CA), Cafe Verona, that served a pasta that inspired this recipe. Unfortunately, the restaurant burned down and was unable to rebuild. This is a very simple dish, but the mozarella plays a staring role, adding creaminess. The twist is that the spices from the marinade add a zing. Ask the deli counter to cut the proscuitto into thick slices for you (about 1/8 inch).
