Ingredients

  • 3 ounces prosciutto, sliced thin
  • 1 34 lbs asparagus, trimmed (about 2 bunches)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 14 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 14 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place proscuitto, in a single layer, on baking sheet and roast until crisp, about 8-10 minutes; transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; add asparagus and cook until tender, 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness).
  • Drain asparagus and plunge into an ice water bath; drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Cut asparagus into 2-inch pieces; place in a serving bowl and toss with oil, salt and pepper.
  • Break proscuitto into pieces and sprinkle over asparagus.
  • NOTE: You can also just break the proscuitto into pieces and pan fry a few minutes.
  • Remove when they start to crisp, then saute asparagus, with oil, in the pan.
  • Seems easier this way if you want to make less than the full recipe.
  • However, I recommend making the whole recipe because it is so good.
