Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs thin asparagus |
3 tablespoons butter (or a combination) or 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or a combination) |
kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
1 ounce parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 500°F.
2. Rinse asparagus, and break off woody bottoms. Lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers. Toss with bits of butter or the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in oven.
3. Roast 5 minutes, then shake dish to redistribute butter or oil. Roast 5 minutes more, then test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (Up to this point, the recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature).
4. Top with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano just before serving.
