Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed and discarded
8 ounces prosciutto, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup Philadelphia Cooking Creme (any flavor, I used Italian Cheese and Herb)
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Wrap 2 asparagus spears with a slice of prosciutto. Place spears on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on the tips and ends of the asparagus (avoiding the prosciutto). Roast for 8-10 minutes, until the asparagus is cooked through and the prosciutto becomes crispy.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Philadelphia Cooking Cream with the water. Microwave on medium setting for 45 seconds. If you can't find the Philadelphia Cooking Creme, feel free to omit (the Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus is great as-is!) or substitute with 1/4 cup Philadelphia Cream Cheese mixed with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise + 2 tablespoons water and your favorite chopped fresh herbs.
  • Plate the asparagus and drizzle the Philadelphia Cooking Cream over the asparagus. Serve immediately.

ROASTED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Roasted Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus image

My husband clipped this recipe from a magazine about 7 years ago, which is something he had never done before. When he brought it home, I agreed to make it for him, and it was great. Since then, I have served it as a first course at many holiday meals. You can also serve it as an hors d'oeuvres.

Provided by JackieOhNo

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

24 medium asparagus spears (about 1-1/2 lbs.)
1/4 cup boiling water
1/2 lb imported prosciutto (12 slices)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Trim asparagus evenly. Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise.
  • Place asparagus and boiling water in a large roasting pan and cover tightly with foil.
  • Stream asparagus for about 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Remove asparagus and dry on paper towels. Drain water from roasting pan and dry.
  • On a sheet of waxed paper, lay 1 strip of prosciutto. Sprinkle with about 1 t. Parmesan cheese. Place one asparagus spear at 1 end and roll up, slightly overlapping proscuitto as your roll, and covering most of the spear. Repeat with remaining asparagus, prosciutto, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Place wrapped asparagus in roasting pan and roast for about 10 minutes, until prosciutto just begins to brown.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus spears: Look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Trim the asparagus spears: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
  • Blanch the asparagus spears (optional): Blanching the asparagus spears helps to tenderize them and bring out their bright green color. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Immediately transfer the asparagus spears to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Wrap the asparagus spears with prosciutto: Lay a slice of prosciutto flat on a work surface. Place an asparagus spear in the center of the prosciutto slice and wrap the prosciutto around the asparagus spear, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Overlap the prosciutto slices slightly as you wrap. Secure the prosciutto slices with a toothpick.
  • Bake the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the prosciutto is golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears immediately: Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. They can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The combination of salty prosciutto, tender asparagus, and melted cheese is irresistible. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to impress your guests, prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears are the perfect dish for you.
