INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus spears 1 20-ounce package refrigerated new potato wedges 1/4 cup bottled Italian salad dressing
1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto Parmesan cheese ribbons (optional)



1 Snap off and discard woody bases from the asparagus spears. If desired, scrape off scales. Cut spears into 2-inch pieces; set aside.
2 In a large saucepan, cook the potatoes, covered, in a small amount of lightly salted boiling water for 11 minutes. Add asparagus. Cover and cook about 4 minutes more or until asparagus is crisp-tender and potatoes are tender; drain. Transfer to a serving platter.
3 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine salad dressing and lemon peel. Drizzle salad dressing mixture over potatoes and asparagus. Arrange rolled-up prosciutto slices next to the vegetables. If desired, top with Parmesan cheese ribbons. Serve warm.
