  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the prosciutto, garlic, and pine nuts in the melted butter until the garlic is fragrant and the nuts begin to turn brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.
