Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

24 fresh spears of asparagus
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven broiler.
  • With a vegetable peeler, scrape the asparagus to within one inch of the top. Cut off and discard the bottom part of the spears to make them of uniform length.
  • Place the stalks in a skillet, add cold water to cover, and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer about 2 to 3 minutes until tender yet firm.
  • Drain the asparagus and arrange in a round or oval heatproof dish. Arrange neatly in one layer with the tip ends slightly staggered.
  • Brush with the olive oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper.
  • Place under the broiler for about 2 or 3 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
