Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook asparagus until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove asparagus with a slotted spoon, keeping water boiling.

  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat, cook prosciutto in hot skillet until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove prosciutto from skillet and transfer to a work surface to cool, chop.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, cook and stir green onions until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, add asparagus.

  4. Cook linguine in the pot of boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

  5. Combine pasta, 1/4 cup pasta water, asparagus, and green onions together in a serving bowl, top with prosciutto.

Recipe Note

We love prosciutto-wrapped asparagus and this was a great way to stretch the relatively expensive prosciutto. Our whole family loves it.
