Wrappers and finishing
Method
Asparagus and filling
- 1
Trim asparagus
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus spears (about 1–1½ inches) so you have 12 tender spears of even length.

Make filling
In a mixing bowl combine ricotta, cream cheese, grated parmesan, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped basil, salt and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning; filling should be slightly tangy and well seasoned.
Assembling and finishing

Prepare wrappers
Lay 12 slices of prosciutto or smoked salmon flat on a clean work surface. If slices are large, cut each in half lengthwise so each asparagus spear will be wrapped in a single long strip.

Fill and roll
Using a small spoon or piping bag, place about 1 tablespoon of the ricotta filling along the length of each prosciutto/salmon slice. Lay one asparagus spear at one end and roll tightly so the filling is enclosed. If needed, secure with a toothpick.
