Proscitto And Asparagus Rolls With Arugula Recipes

ASPARAGUS WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• For asparagus, snap off tough ends of spears where they naturally give when bent. Place spears into 1-inch of boiling water. Cover the pan and cook asparagus for 3 or 4 minutes, until spears are just tender but remain bright green in color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain and cold shock the spears in a colander under cool water. Return cooked asparagus to skillet and coat with lemon juice and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Remove bundles of several spears at a time from the pan and wrap with sliced prosciutto. Pile assembled bundles on a serving plate.

ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN CRISP PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat with olive oil.
• Wrap one slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, starting at the bottom, and spiraling up to the tip. Place the wrapped spears on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove, and shake the pan back and forth to roll the spears over. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until asparagus is tender, and prosciutto is crisp. Serve immediately.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Combine olive oil and red pepper flakes. Place asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil mixture over top; mix together with your hands to coat.
• Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, angling as you wrap to cover most of the asparagus. Arrange on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
• Broil in the preheated oven until prosciutto is sizzling and crispy and asparagus is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and serve immediately.
