01
Step 1
Start by whisking the sauce mix and milk together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and bring everything to a gentle boil, stirring until the butter melts and the sauce is smooth. Turn the heat down and let it simmer for about a minute, stirring now and then, until it thickens a bit. Set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 2
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the asparagus for about 3 minutes until just tender. Drain them and run under cold water right away to stop the cooking. Pat the asparagus dry with paper towels and transfer to a cutting board.

Step 3
Now, take a slice of ham and wrap it around about four asparagus spears. Place each bundle on a serving tray and keep going until you’ve used up all the ham and asparagus.
