Prosciutto is an Italian ham that's air-cured with salt and seasonings pressed into the densely textured meat. The best prosciutto sold in the United States comes from the Parma area of Italy; it is made from larger pork legs than American prosciutto and is aged longer. Serve this pasta salad with cantaloupe slices—a common partner for prosciutto—to cap off your meal.
