Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus
Serves 4
Time 15 min
These asparagus bundles make an excellent starter or side for a celebratory meal, but they are simple enough for weeknights, too. Brush the prosciutto with a bit of Dijon mustard for extra tanginess, if you like. Watch our how-to video.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 24 asparagus spears, trimmed
- 4 slices prosciutto
- Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- 1 lemon, quartered
Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Cover asparagus with water in a large, deep skillet and bring to a boil.
Cook just until tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice water until chilled to stop the cooking; drain well.
Divide asparagus into 4 piles, wrapping each with a slice of prosciutto around the center to form a bundle.
Transfer to a baking sheet, season with pepper and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Roast until cheese is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
Transfer to plates and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
