1. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Thoroughly wash the asparagus spears and snap or cut off the tough, woody ends. Ensure the spears are completely dry to promote crisping.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with 1 clove of garlic-infused olive oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Whisk to emulsify.
4. Add the prepared asparagus to the bowl with the marinade and gently toss to ensure each spear is evenly coated.
5. Carefully wrap each marinated asparagus spear with a thin slice of Prosciutto di Parma, securing it around the center.
6. Place the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus bundles onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer without overcrowding.
7. Roast in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. The asparagus should be tender-crisp, and the prosciutto should be rendered and lightly crisped.
8. Concurrently, prepare the Lemon-Garlic Aioli. In a separate small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of high-quality mayonnaise with 1 very finely minced clove of garlic. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a pinch of sea salt, and a pinch of white pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well-emulsified. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
9. Once the asparagus is cooked, remove it from the oven. Allow it to rest for approximately one minute before serving. Present the warm asparagus bundles with the prepared Lemon-Garlic Aioli on the side for dipping.
