Comments: Mascarpone is an Italian cheese with a consistency similar to cream cheese. It can be found in the specialty cheese section of most large grocery stores. The asparagus will have to be broiled in two batches so the prosciutto can brown properly. Keep the uncooked prosciutto-wrapped asparagus in the refrigerator until they are ready to be broiled.
Ingredients:
0.5 Cup cheese, mascarpone
Directions:
Adjust an oven rack to the uppermost position (about 4 inches from the heating element) and heat the broiler. Smear a scant tsp of mascarpone onto each strip of prosciutto. Tightly wrap each asparagus spear in a strip of prosciutto (starting with the tip of the asparagus), securing the end with a toothpick. Place half the spears in a single layer on a heavy, rimmed baking sheet, leaving about ½-inch space between the spears.

Broil, turning the spears with tongs halfway through the cooking time, until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the broiled asparagus to a serving platter. Broil the remaining asparagus on the empty baking sheet. Transfer the second batch of broiled asparagus to the platter, season with pepper to taste, and serve warm.
