Ingredients
Directions
- Bring a medium pot of water to boil & add salt. Add asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spears turn bright green and are just al dente. Using a pair of tongs, transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Once cooled, remove asparagus & pat dry.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 400 F. Place a flat roasting rack over a sheet tray and lay bacon strips on the rack. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until bacon is cooked through but not crisp. Set aside until just cool enough to handle.
- Place one basil leaf on a piece of cheese. Wrap around asparagus on a diagonal, basil leaf positioned between asparagus and cheese, then wrap one piece of bacon on a diagonal over the cheese. Place on a plate, ends of bacon facing down. Repeat with remaining spears. Sprinkle with additional red pepper flakes as desired and serve.
