  • 8 asparagus spears fresh, if possible

  • If you wish to add prosciutto, lay a slice of the meat on the coated crescent roll. Top with one asparagus spear. Wrap the asparagus with the crescent roll by placing the crescent roll tip on the top of the asparagus stalk. Twist around the asparagus (and optional prosciutto), making a spiral.
