1 pound asparagus, preferably thick spears
3 to 3½ ounces sliced prosciutto
1 to 2 Tbsp olive oil
ground black pepper
freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Heat the oven to 400ºF. Get a large sheet pan. Rinse and pat dry the asparagus. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Set asparagus spears aside.

Cut prosciutto slices in half down their length. Wrap each spear of asparagus with one strip of sliced prosciutto. Tug the prosciutto a little as you wrap it around the asparagus to give it tension. Wrap the prosciutto around the asparagus tightly.
Lay the wrapped asparagus spears on the lined sheet pan.

Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper on top. Bake the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes. When done, the asparagus will be bright green and easily pierced with a fork, and the prosciutto will be crisped around the edges.
Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while hot.

Personal Notes:
10 years ago, I joined my Father, Dr Tom Bales, in our family Orthodontic practice in both Novato and Santa Rosa, California. I feel very fortunate to be able to take care of our patients in the beautiful North Bay where I was born and raised. I am married to my husband, Robert Balchunas, and together we have 3 sweet daughters, Lola, Margo and Hadley. I enjoy traveling, skiing, hiking and spending time with my family. But most of all, I enjoy providing the best possible care for our patients.
