Pastry and prosciutto wrapped asparagus

[brennan]

My wife just came up with this tonight and it turned out great!

1 Bunch of asparagus
1 sheet of puff pastry cut to .5" strips
prosciutto split in half lengthwise (not sure how many slices you'll need...Just play it by ear)
Parmesan cheese (I'm spoiled, I buy fresh blocks) Shredded.

Preheat oven to 400*
Blanch the asparagus

Take bundles of 2 or 3 asparagus and wrap in a strip of prosciutto, then wrap with puff pastry.

Place all bundles on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and shred parmesan cheese all over them.

Bake til golden brown and delicious.

hmm, I guess nobody likes asparagus?

I might try that with green beans. I always manage to mess up asparagus.

I love the stuff, grilled, baked, raw. Good to know you expand beyond the smoker, there's a lot of life out there. Let me know when the blood oranges are in season, I think they're the bomb.
