Ingredients

2 cups ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

8 ounces asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces

4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced and cut into strips

2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

Set a large pot of salted water over high heat. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet or slope-sided saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add prosciutto and cook, stirring, until mostly crisp, about 2 minutes. Add scallions and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add asparagus and cook, tossing and stirring frequently, until asparagus is just starting to turn tender, about 2 minutes.
