Roasted Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Bundles

On Sunday, we had my family over for a homemade supper to celebrate mother's day. It was a great evening of delicious food and wonderful conversation, enjoyed on our backyard deck. These asparagus bundles were the perfect side dish to what we served for supper. We had smoked ham, homemade rolls, cheesy hashbrown casserole, salad, and these delicious bundles. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the asparagus, so I thought I would share this recipe. It is very easy to make and it is quite healthy for you.
