Recipe By: Alice Morrow
Ingredients
- 8-12 pencil thin asparagus, with tough ends snapped off, rinsed
- 1 bottle Italian dressing or your favorite vinegarette

- ¼ c. butter, melted
- ¼-1/2 c. finely grated fresh parmesan cheese
Instructions

- When ready to prepare, preheat oven 375.
- Unwrap phyllo dough and cut stack in half lengthwise. Reserve the other stack for later use.
- Cover dough with damp towel to keep it from drying out.
- Take 1 sheet of dough and brush lightly with some melted butter.
- Sprinkle with cheese.
- Place 3-4 asparagus on short end of sheet. Roll up, jelly-roll style.
- Place each piece, seam side down, on baking sheet.
- Brush with more butter and sprinkle with more cheese.
- Repeat with rest of asparagus.
- Place in oven and bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
*****I usually marinate extra asparagus to use later in week or just to have on hand. I grill them or place them in salads. Just put them where you like. Since they have been marinating you really don’t have to cook them unless you want them warm.
