- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Preparation
1 Preheat oven to 375? F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
2 Roll pastry into a 10 x 4-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into six (6) 5 x 2-inch rectangles
3 Place rectangles on prepared baking sheet and set aside.
4 Leaving a 1/2-inch boarder on each side spread 1/6 of the walnut mixture on each pastry. Place 2 – 3 asparagus spears on each dressed pastry rectangle (the thickness of the asparagus will determine how many spears are needed for each pastry.).
