Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 large asparagus spears, tough ends removed
salt
16 slices prosciutto, sliced thin
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small bits
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400°F.
  • Butter a baking dish large enough to hold the asparagus.
  • Bring a sauce pan 3/4 full of water to a boil.
  • Add the asparagus and salt and cook until the spears are just beginning to bend when lifted by the stem, 5-7 minutes.
  • Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Wrap each asparagus spear in one slice of prosciutto and place in the baking dish.
  • Dot with the butter and sprinkle with the cheese and pepper.
  • Bake in the oven until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve hot directly from the dish.
