Sunday Brunch: Pancetta-Wrapped Asparagus from Mario Batali's Mother's Day Menu
I asked Mario for any recommendations on what to cook for Mother's Day this year and whether we could get a recipe for whatever it was. He shot back with a meat-centric menu that featured spit-roasted prime rib, focaccina with provolone and scallions, and asparagus wrapped in pancetta with citronette. Mario called this "a perfect meal." The asparagus recipe is easy and would make a great Mother's Day brunch dish served with some crusty bread or some breadsticks.
"Spit-Roasted Prime Rib and Asparagus Wrapped in Pancetta with Citronette, and Focaccina with Provolone and Scallions. A perfect meal."

WOW! I'm a little creeped out.
I didn't read this article yet but I happened to make something similar last night:
I pan-seared some chicken breast after stuffing it with smoked greyere, asparagus and proschutto. It was fabulous! I also had some extra asparagus left over so I wrapped them in the rest of the proschutto and baked it. I also started with some cheddar and jalepeno focaccia.
...I must have subconciously known that Mario suggested this? lol
