Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    24 thick stalks of asparagus (about 1 bunch)
    1/2 T. olive oil
    1 T. grated parmesan cheese
    Fresh-ground black pepper
    3 ounces prosciutto (6 paper-thin slices)



Tips

Use a lower-sodium prosciutto, if you can find it!


Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

Cut an inch or so off the asparagus and place on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with parmesan and a little pepper, and toss. Roast until the asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes. Cool completely.

Cut prosciutto slices lengthwise and then widthwise into 4 pieces (for a total of 24 pieces). Wrap each asparagus with a piece of prosciutto, laying the asparagus on the prosciutto at an angle and leaving the tip exposed. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.
