BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
While asparagus season is here, keep this recipe near. It's a pretty and impressive side perfect for brunch or dinner-maybe alongside a steak! And it's a godsend when entertaining, since it's made with only five ingredients, a single pan and the simplest of techniques. The trick is wrapping bundles of asparagus, instead of individual stalks. As the bundles bake, the bacon drippings infuse the stalks with smoky flavor and transform this sometimes-woody vegetable into a silky smooth and meltingly tender masterpiece which, in our experience, no one can resist!

BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS SPEARS WITH TOMATOES AND TALEGGIO CHEESE
Mike came up with this recipe during the first dinner we cooked together in our brand-new apartment! We were inspired by a similar dish we've had at an Italian restaurant, but used it as a side dish instead of an antipasti plate, and substituted the prosciutto with bacon. The cheese, a relatively mild cow's milk cheese, should be relatively easy to find because of its increasing popularity. Super easy to make, and super tasty!

- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Wrap the bacon tightly around the asparagus spears, ensuring there are no gaps, so the bacon cooks evenly.
- Use a variety of seasonings to enhance the flavor of the asparagus and bacon. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook the asparagus-wrapped bacon in a preheated oven or on a grill pan over medium heat. This will help ensure that the bacon cooks through without burning.
- Keep an eye on the asparagus while it cooks and flip it occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the bacon is cooked to your desired crispiness and the asparagus is tender, remove the skewers (if using) and serve immediately.
