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.

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.

This was my first time making roasted prosciutto-wrapped asparagus and it turned out great! The asparagus was tender and flavorful, and the prosciutto added a nice salty crunch. I will definitely be making this again.

The asparagus was a little overcooked for my taste, but the prosciutto was crispy and delicious. I'll try roasting the asparagus for a shorter amount of time next time.
