Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Bundles

Yes, yes, yes....I've done something similar to this before. http://delishdishcooks.blogspot.ca/search/label/Appetizer#!/2012/02/roasted-proscuitto-wrapped-asparagus.html  It really isn't all that different ingredient wise.  However, these aren't an appetizer, the parm doesn't go inside and they're lower in calories and fat.  Why should the fat and calories matter.....I'm still doing the Health Challenge, which essentially means, so are you.  Take it or leave it, you've got 4 more weeks of my version of "healthier recipes".  You'll thank me later.
These would make a nice accompaniment to anything grilled, fish or even Easter, which is just around the corner.  Remember, Prosciutto is salty and becomes even more salty when heated so no need to season these bundles unless you'd like a little pepper.
P.S. the calorie count is around 75 calories per bundle. 
P.P.S. you'll notice smaller bundles in the photo....I made kid sized bundles.  My daughter inhaled hers, my son tore the prosciutto off and gave it to my husband....lucky him.



Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus  Bundles

Serves 4

1 bundle of Asparagus, washed and prepped
4 slices, Prosciutto
1 tsp olive oil
1-2 tbsp freshly shaved Parmesan

Pre-heat the oven to 425F.  Toss the asparagus with the olive oil.  Divide the bunch into 4 equal amounts and wrap one piece of prosciutto around each one, placing on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes depending on the size of the asparagus.  Garnish with Parmesan.
