Asparagus is a spring vegetable that is prized for its delicate flavor and crisp texture. When roasted, asparagus takes on a slightly caramelized flavor that is complemented by the salty, savory taste of prosciutto. Wrapping the asparagus bundles in prosciutto also helps to keep them moist and tender. Seasoned bread crumbs add a crunchy texture and a pop of flavor. This dish can be served as an appetizer or a side dish, and it is sure to impress your guests.

Steps:
- To make the seasoned bread crumbs, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and sauté briefly until pale gold. Add the bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs are toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and add the parsley, lemon zest, and Parmesan. Toss well. (The crumbs keep, tightly sealed and refrigerated, for several days.)
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a shallow baking dish that is long enough to hold the asparagus. Toss the cooled asparagus with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the asparagus into 4 equal bundles. Arrange 2 slices of the prosciutto on a work surface so they slightly overlap each other. Place an asparagus bundle on top and roll up carefully in the prosciutto. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Flatten the top of each bundle slightly and sprinkle with one-fourth of the seasoned bread crumbs.
- Roast in the oven until heated through and crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve at once.

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

ROASTED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES
A very pretty way to serve asparagus! NOTE: The directions state that you should roast for 25-30 minutes, although I have found that it takes much less time at that temperature, especially since we prefer our asparagus crisp-tender. I strongly suggest you begin checking your asparagus after only 10 minutes, especially if your spears aren't very thick.

CHEESE, PROSCIUTTO AND ASPARAGUS CRUSTED BUNDLES
Want something that is great for every night but is amazing for dinner parties, holidays or a special event but very very easy. A few slices of prosciutto from your grocer's deli, some store bought crescent rolls and asparagus. Now if you want to get really special, buy a mix of white, green and sometimes you can find the red asparagus. I did this for a Christmas party and it was a hit. But if you can't get other colors, get green, that is just fine.

Steps:
- Asparagus -- Pre cook the asparagus just 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave just lay flat on a paper towel and cover with a damp paper towel. Just to get a head start.
- Rolls -- Spread out the crescent rolls and press the pre cut seems together to form one large sheet. Cut in half top to bottom and then cup each half in 3 strips. Spread with some of the boursin or herb cheese. (Thin layer, not heavy).
- Wrap -- 4-5 asparagus spears with prosciutto. I like to alternate the spears going in different directions to make sure they cook evenly. Then wrap in the strips of crescent rolls a spiral pattern around the asparagus and prosciutto. Make sure you leave the tips and the very ends open (a inch or more) but the rest should be wrapped with the crescent roll.
- Bake -- Place the wrapped asparagus bundles on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Melt the butter in the microwave and brush with butter. Sprinkle with parmesan and bake in a 400 degree oven for 14-16 minutes until golden brown.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-washed asparagus and pre-cooked prosciutto.
- If you don't have bread crumbs, you can make your own by toasting and crumbling slices of bread.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the bread crumb mixture. For example, you could add garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika.
- If you don't have cooking twine, you can use toothpicks to secure the asparagus bundles.
- Be careful not to overcook the asparagus. It should be tender but still slightly crisp.
- Serve the asparagus bundles immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
