- Take two sheets phyllo dough and coat each sheet with nonstick cooking spray and layer. Cut into 6 sections (one across and two down).
- Sprinkle each section with about 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan. Wrap a prosciutto strip around asparagus. Lay asparagus on corner of phyllo section. Roll up diagonally, exposing asparagus tip. Transfer to prepared pan. Repeat with remaining asparagus. Coat asparagus with nonstick cooking spray.
