Start with medium-sized asparagus and bend it to break off the woody stem.

For a shortcut, gather a bunch of asparagus and cut them with a knife.

Take about three asparagus spears for each bundle.

Take a strip of prosciutto and split it in half for easier wrapping.

Spread a light coating of herbed cream cheese on the prosciutto.

Roll the prosciutto around the asparagus in a spiral fashion to maximize surface area.

Place the wrapped asparagus on a sprayed sheet pan.

Drizzle about 1.5 tablespoons of lemon juice over the wrapped asparagus.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the asparagus to help the prosciutto crisp up.

Sprinkle coarse pepper and a light amount of salt over the asparagus.

Bake in the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and place on a platter for serving.
