These look delicious! My asparagus never come out quite right--I boil them so that might be why. I'm definitely going to try baking them like you have in the recipe.
you could wrap almost anything in prosciutto! Well done!
Foodnfit: this is the first time I tried raosting asparagus and they turned out great! Normally I steam them though for only about 3 minutes and they are perfect. When you boil them they continue cooking even after they are removed from the water.
Kris: Thanks these tasted deeeeelish!
looks divine!
I am learning to like certain vegetables I used to loathe, olives and asparagus are on the list, I love the classy look the prosciutto gives these asparagus spears!
