prosciutto (found with specialty meats in your grocery store)
instructions
first, blanch your asparagus in boiling water to bring out its color.
cut off the dry ends of each spear, then boil for 1-2 minutes.
transfer the asparagus into a bowl of cold water, or run cool water over them in a colander to “shock” them – so that they cool and stop cooking.

arrange spears on a lightly greased baking pan.
bake at 350 for about 10 minutes – or until the asparagus is tender.
