Faith is making this Ina Garten recipe for Thanksgiving. Every time we eat this, we rave about it. It’s from Ina’s new book, Make It Ahead.

Tip: You can assemble the bundles, top with truffle butter and cheese, and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. Bake before serving, says Ina.

Ingredients
  • kosher salt
  • 2 pounds asparagus medium-size, bottom thirds discarded
  • 6 slices Italian prosciutto
  • olive oil good quality
  • 2 tablespoons white truffle butter
  • fleur de sel
  • black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 ounces gruyère cheese grated
Servings:
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. If the asparagus are thick, peel them halfway up the stalk with a vegetable peeler. Immerse the asparagus in the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the asparagus and put them immediately into a large bowl of ice water to set the bright green color. Allow to chill for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and pat the asparagus dry.
  3. Gather 6 to 8 asparagus spears into a bundle with the tips together, and wrap a slice of prosciutto securely around the middle. Repeat to make 6 bundles. Brush a rectangular baking dish (large enough to hold the bundles in one layer) with 1½ tablespoons of olive oil. Place the bundles seam side down in the baking dish, arranged side by side, with the tips facing the same way. In a small saucepan, heat the truffle butter and 1½ tablespoons of olive oil until the butter melts. Drizzle it over the bundles. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon fleur de sel, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Gruyère and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the butter is sizzling and the cheese melts and starts to brown. Serve hot.
