Ingredients

1/4 cup prosciutto, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 medium bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced cut tomatoes
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
coarse salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup grated onion
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (Seasoned Breadcrumb Mix works well.)
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
coarse salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

In a medium size saucepan, saute the prosciutto in the olive oil until crisp, add in the onion and bell pepper, cook stirring frequently until crisp tender.
Stir in the garlic and tomato paste, cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, add in the tomato juice from the canned tomatoes and stir mixture scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan.
Add the tomatoes, vinegar and red pepper flakes cook until most of the liquid has evaporated add in the fresh basil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while preparing the zucchini cakes.
Using the large side of the box grater, grate the zucchini and onion. Place in the center of a clean kitchen towel, bring up sides and gently squeeze out the moisture.
Place in a medium bowl, add the remaining ingredients and combine well with a spatula.
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and when hot drop the mixture into the hot pan forming into 4 equal cakes. Cook the bottom until crisp, turn and gently press down on top. Continue to cook until the other side is crisp and browned.
Divide the sauce among 2 plates, top with 2 cakes per each and using a vegetable peeler garnish all with strips of fresh Parmesan cheese.
