I made a variation using this recipe. First, I substituted prosciutto with bacon. Then, instead of roasting the asparagus I wrapped each piece in bacon slices and fried it in a slightly greased pan. The asparagus just absorbed the flavor of the bacon. So tasty even without the salt and pepper! Thank you for this recipe!
