This recipe is WONDERFUL!! i chose to not boil the asparagus first, as my friends garden had many weaker spears i was thoughtful enough to take out for her (wink wink) but wrapped in the proscuitto, a bit of balsamic & olive oil, pepper..on the grill for 4-5 minutes, then sprinkled parmegiano reggiano on top, it made dinner a hit!!..Thank much Nimz, AGAIN for a fantastic dinner!!

I have only tried asparagus once before and hated it. But this one will make an asparagus lover out of anyone! We put a small amount of fontina cheese on the prosciutto before wrapping it around the asparagus, and spread a little butter on it also. I highly recommend this dish to everyone.... asparagus lovers or not!

I love this dish! I make this quite often, and will be making it for an upcoming Valentine's get together! It's also great, because they're easy for snacking on as well
