Recipe for crispy bacon and asparagus rolls: ingredients for 8 people700 g asparagus

• 300 g smoked bacon
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• extra-virgin olive oil (as needed)
• grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (optional)

Directions

This recipe for crispy bacon and asparagus rolls is very simple and quick to make.

First, wash the asparagus under running water, transfer it to a cutting board and remove the hardest and most fibrous part of the stem. In a 28 cm non-stick saucepan, bring water to a boil, salt the water lightly, and boil the trimmed asparagus for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Wrap two slices of bacon around each asparagus, making sure it's wrapped well. Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus on a shallow non-stick baking sheet lightly drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (392 °F) and cook for 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.

For an elegant touch, serve the rolls directly on the Primecook baking sheet, using the matching magnetic trivet. An elegantly practical solution that will help you avoid spills, keeping the dish warm while maintaining its presentation.

Tip: To really bring out the flavor of this recipe, try adding some grated Parmesan cheese before baking.

Enjoy your meal!
