Instructions
1
Whisk and Simmer Sauce
Start by whisking the sauce mix and milk together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring until everything is melted and smooth. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about a minute, stirring now and then, until it thickens up a bit. Set the sauce aside to cool down slightly.
2
Blanch the Asparagus
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the asparagus and cook for about 3 minutes until just tender. Drain them and immediately run under cold water to stop the cooking. Pat the asparagus dry with paper towels once they’re cool enough to handle.
3
Wrap Asparagus in Ham
Grab four asparagus spears and wrap a slice of ham around them. Lay the bundles on a serving tray and keep going until all the asparagus is wrapped. Drizzle the creamy sauce over the rolls and sprinkle some fresh dill on top for a nice touch. Serve and enjoy!
