These Asparagus Prosciutto bundles are what we call a “company dish” but they are completely worth the little extra time for a weeknight meal. Sometimes we make them for date night in and we make them together adding in the enjoyment of the evening.
Asparagus could be an excellent dish by itself but it’s easy to take it up to an even higher level by wrapping it in prosciutto. You could use thinly sliced ham but the prosciutto adds classier touch and the flavor is amazing.
Tip- These Asparagus and Prosciutto Bundles can be prepared ahead of time and then roasted in the oven for less than 5 minutes prior to serving.
