  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 450°F. On lightly floured surface, unroll and stack pie crusts one on top of the other. Roll to 17x12-inch rectangle. Place on ungreased 18x13-inch baking pan.

    In large bowl, toss asparagus in oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Set aside.

    Spread cheese mixture evenly onto pie crust, leaving 1 1/2-inch border around edge. Arrange prosciutto strips on top of cheese mixture. Arrange asparagus, alternating tips to bottoms, on top of prosciutto. Fold edge of pie crust over filling all around, leaving asparagus uncovered.
