My husband thinks this is "awesome asparagus". I have another recipe that layers thin slices of swiss cheese with the prosciutto before rolling around the asparagus. That is very rich, but good, as well. With both recipes, I use much less melted butter. When I don't have prosciutto available, I substitue smoked turkey. I served this as a main dish with a tossed salad and crusty bread. It was a simple dinner for just my husband and I. By reducing the butter and using smoked turkey, I cut the fat of the recipe.

I grew up in Ohio, have lived in San Diego and now reside in Georgia. Love it here!
I am a stay at home mom and enjoy interior decorating, renovating and cooking up a storm!
I also like Nascar, and the everyday challenge of keeping myself in shape.
If I had a month off I'd go even further south and find someone to teach me to cook Carribean style.
