2 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 pound white button mushrooms, sliced
2 green onions, sliced in 1-inch pieces

Red pepper flakes, optional
1/4 cup marsala wine

In skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium high heat and sauté mushrooms and onion until tender. Spoon mushroom mixture on half the cutlets, sprinkle some romano and pepper flakes, if using. Top with proscuitto pieces and cover with a second veal cutlet and secure with toothpicks on each side, like straight pins into fabric.
