Prosciutto wrapped asparagus
-1/4 cup cream cheese
-1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes
-12 slices of prosciutto
-12 asparagus stalks
-4 tablespoons Oolive oil
-Dash of black pepper
Mix olive oil and black pepper and coat asparagus in the mixture. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese and red pepper flakes together. Lay out prosciutto and spread cream cheese mixture on both ends of the piece of prosciutto. Roll the prosciutto around the center part of the asparagus. Cook at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until prosciutto looks to be cooked all the way through.
Spinach stuffed mushrooms
- 1 large frozen bag of spinach
- 3 cups of dry stuffing mix
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 20 large mushrooms
-2 tablespoons water
-1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
-1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Prepare stuffing mix according to the box, but do not add the butter in it. (I used to add the butter and this time I did not and tasted no difference, so save those calories for a piece of pie later. Instead just use the amount of water per number of cups of stuffing the box says.) Defrost frozen and pat it dry to try to get most of the water out. Mix spinach, garlic cloves, both cheeses, and stuffing together. Take the stems off of the mushrooms and fill the mushrooms with this mixture. Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until the mushrooms look to be tender.
Experience?
Soup: Warm and delicious. I would suggest adding more whole vegetables, such as mini carrots and maybe some parsley to the soup because the presentation did not compare to the great taste.
Asparagus: Very pretty presentation and an easy dish to do quickly for a party. Asparagus got a little stringy so it was hard to cut and ended up being easier to eat with your hands.
Mushrooms: Yum! The recipe makes the mushrooms very full, but the more goodies the better in my mind. Make sure to cut up the garlic REALLY tiny, if not you might mistake a piece of cheese for garlic and that could be dangerous...
