You're going to get more oil and saltiness from pancetta than bacon, and you won't get as much smokiness, although it's basically the same flavor profile. So if that's what you're going for, then yes.

Thanks m8. I rarely cook with either. What about prosciutto?

Think of prosciutto as a mix of thin cut bacon and thin cut ham. It's not that salty and very pliable. It'll cook quick so it's not something you want to use at the start of a dish but more towards the middle of it, or end. It's great if you want to wrap another protein, sear it and pop it in the oven to finish; meat crust.
What did you have in mind for it with cooking?

Nothing in specific, I was just curious how it's used.
>It'll cook quick
Don't bacon and pancetta cook quickly too?

>not that salty
It's not salty when you eat it as is, if you cook it it becomes extremely salty because it shrinks very quickly.

Pancetta and bacon take longer to cook because they're thicker and you need to render out all that fat. Prosciutto is paper thin with not much fat content so there's really nothing to render out, it just cooks.

The short answer: YES
The long answer: NO, YOU CAN'T
