It’s not typical of me to make pesto pasta and not include chicken.. but this recipe from @halfbakedharvest called for prosciutto so we went with it! The only tweak I made is I swapped out the ricotta for some fresh mozzarella and it turned out delicious!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Layer the prosciutto on parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes. Boil the pasta according to package directions. When the pasta has 3 minutes left in its cooking time, add in the cut asparagus. Strain the pasta and asparagus, but save 1 cup of the pasta water for thinning out the sauce. Mix all the ingredients together with the reserved pasta water and enjoy!
