Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

Prosciutto, asparagus, cream cheese, what's not to like. I buy light cream cheese and lowest-salt prosciutto I can find.

1/2 lb sliced prosciutto
4 oz light cream cheese
about 18 asparagus spears, trimmed.

Blanche asparagus in boiling water for 40 seconds, immediately placed in iced water to stop the cooking process. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread prosciutto slices with cream cheese and wrap each slice around 2 or 3 asparagus spears. Arrange spears in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes and serve immeditely.
