Make this terrific cocktail party fare a day ahead.

Cut stalks from asparagus, leaving 2" long tips. Cook tips in a large
pot of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 1 minute.
Drain. Transfer to paper towels; drain well. Blend goat cheese,
basil, pine nuts, water, and orange peel in small bowl. Season with
salt and pepper. Spread scant 1 ts filling over each prosciutto
strip. Arrange 2 asparagus tips atop filling at short end of
prosciutto. Roll up prosciutto, enclosing base of asparagus. Press to
seal.
