Anyhow, with Spring comes Asparagus, speaking of sexy. Long, gorgeous and delicious. Wrapped in salty Prosciutto with a sprinkle of Parmesan and a burst of freshness from the Basil. This is reminiscent of an appetizer I blogged a couple of years ago but with a couple extra ingredients and served as a side dish. Bake it or grill it....you'll love it.
Your Welcome.
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Parmesan and Basil
Serves 4
1 bunch of Asparagus, ends trimmed
4 slices of Prosciutto
1/4 cup Parmesan, freshly grated
4 Basil leaves
Olive Oil
Lemon, optional
Preheat the oven or grill to 400F.
Lay a piece of Prosciutto down, sprinkle a scant tbsp of cheese over the meat and a Basil leaf on top of that. Lay the Asparagus down and wrap the Prosciutto around it. Drizzle a little oil over them.
Grill or Bake for 7-10 minutes, making sure not to overcook them. The asparagus should still be tender crisp. Sprinkle with any remaining cheese and squeeze a little fresh Lemon juice over top just before serving, if you're so inclined.
