Saltimbocca alla Romana

Literally meaning 'jumps in the mouth,' saltimbocca is a Roman classic of delicate veal scaloppine layered with sage leaves and prosciutto crudo, seared in foaming butter until the prosciutto crisps and the sage perfumes the meat, then finished with a pan sauce of white wine and butter.
