How to Make Baked Asparagus Wrapped In Prosciutto

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.

  7. Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the prosciutto is slightly crispy.
  10. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
