Asparagus Parmigiano
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese Coarse salt or sea salt Coarsely ground black pepper Traditional Aceto Balsamico (aged Balsamic Vinegar), optional Use a vegetable peeler, shave curls off the Parmigian-Reggiano cheese. Snap or cut off the tough ends of the asparagus. Arrange asparagus in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Blanch the asparagus in lightly salted boiling water for approximately 3 minutes or until crisp-tender; do not overcook. Remove from heat and refresh under cold water; drain well Toss asparagus with just enough olive oil to lightly coat. Arrange asparagus on a serving platter or individual serving plates. Sprinkle coarse salt, pepper, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese curls over the top of the asparagus. For an extra-special taste sensation, drizzle the tops of the asparagus with balsamic vinegar. So good! Makes 4 servings.
