Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

This is a recipe my mother taught me a couple of years ago. It is absolutely delicious and everyone will be begging for more! .

Ingredients:
 12 spears asparagus (more if needed, depending on amount of people)
1 cup Parmesan cheese
6 slices prosciutto
olive oil (about 2 tablespoons)


Preheat oven to 350.  Trim asparagus by breaking off ends. 

Slice prosciutto in half lengthwise to make 12 long strips.  After that is completed lay prosciutto down on a clean surface.  Place one or two asparagus spears on top of prosciutto, add a pinch (more if you prefer) of Parmesan cheese, and a little salt and pepper to taste.  Then roll up this little bundle of joy and lay down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Continue to repeat until all of the asparagus spears are wrapped up and roast for 10-12 minutes or until asparagus spears are easily poked with a fork and prosciutto is golden.  Enjoy!
