Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Remove the woody, tough ends from the asparagus. To do this, grab a handful of stems (5-6 at a time) and start to fold near the bottom of the stem. Each stem should break at the spot where it starts to toughen.
- Cut each piece of prosciutto into quarters (you should have about 16 pieces). Working with one asparagus stem at a time, wrap a piece of prosciutto around the middle of the stem. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining prosciutto and asparagus.
- Brush the wrapped stems lightly with olive oil, concentrating most on the flowery tops which dry out easily. Sprinkle with pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon).
- Bake until the asparagus stems are tender and the prosciutto is crisp, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES
This is a fantastic and simple way to prepare asparagus! I don't think I will ever go back to just plain steamed asparagus. Prociutto is expensive, but this recipe doesn't use very much. And its TOTALLY worth the expense. This could be a fantastic first course or a side dish

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
I came up with this dish last night while looking for a prosciutto wrapped asparagus recipe. I prefer to roast my asparagus and I don't care for raw prosciutto, so here's my creation! I wouldn't salt the asparagus because the prosciutto is salty enough. Feel free to season the asparagus with whatever you like: thyme, rosemary, etc. This doesn't just have to be a side dish, it could be finger-food too!

Tips:
- When selecting asparagus for this recipe, choose spears that are thin and evenly shaped. Avoid thick or woody asparagus, as they will not cook evenly.
- If you don't have prosciutto on hand, you can substitute thinly sliced ham or pancetta.
- For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the prosciutto and wrap the asparagus in phyllo dough or puff pastry.
- To add extra flavor to the asparagus, brush it with olive oil, salt, and pepper before wrapping it in prosciutto.
- You can also add other ingredients to the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, such as cheese, nuts, or sun-dried tomatoes.
- Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it will become mushy. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp.
- Serve the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
