Prosciutto Asparagus Spirals

This recipe has been on my pinterest board since I started using the site.  They looked so delicious and very easy to make.  They are meant to be more of an appetizer, but they seemed like a perfect side dish for our steak dinner!  I used reduced fat crescent rolls and Laughing Cow cheese, but the recipe comes from Pepperidge Farm.

Prosciutto Asparagus Spirals



Ingredients
1 package reduced fat crescent rolls
2 light Laughing Cow cheese, sun-dried tomato flavor
8 slices prosciutto
2 bundles asparagus spears, trimmed

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.  Unfold crescent rolls.  Spread cheese over crescent rolls.


 Spread out prosciutto.  Cut into strips based on the number of pieces of asparagus. (I ran out of asparagus and just made some regular prosciutto rolls).

Wrap 1 pastry strip around each asparagus spear, prosciutto-side in.

Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.


4-5 points per asparagus....a little high in points but worth it!
