Roasted Asparagus With Parmigiano Reggiano Recipes

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CRUNCHY PARMESAN TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 500 degrees; while it heats, put bread in, and check frequently until it is lightly toasted and dry. Coarsely grind or grate bread and cheese together (a small food processor is best), and keep crumbs larger than commercial bread crumbs.
• 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.
• 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).
• Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown, a minute or two. Serve hot or at room temperature.

• Sprinkle asparagus with Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and garlic powder.
• Roast in preheated oven until fork easily punctures thickest part of stem, about 12 minutes.

ASPARAGUS WITH PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well salted ice water. Place the trimmed asparagus in the boiling water and let the water come back to a rolling boil. Remove asparagus from the boiling water and plunge immediately into the ice water. Remove from the ice water, pat dry, and reserve.
• In a small bowl combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Season with salt. Toss the asparagus in the vinaigrette. Arrange on a serving plate and sprinkle with the crumbled egg white and yellow.

Steps:

• Toss the asparagus and tomatoes in the oil, salt and pepper, place on a baking sheet in a single layer, sprinkle on the parmesan and roast in a preheated 400F/200C oven until they start to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes, mixing half way through.
• Meanwhile, simmer the balsamic vinegar until it starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the asparagus and tomatoes warm drizzled with the balsamic vinegar and garnished with the fresh basil.

BAKED ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175˚C).
• If using ridiculously pricy, top-notch balsamic vinegar, skip this step. Otherwise, throw the windows open and turn on the exhaust fan. Then place the vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally, until the vinegar is reduced by half, anywhere from 7 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the saucepan. Remove from the heat.
• Bring a pot of water to boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the salt and the asparagus and blanch until barely tender, about 1 minute for spears of average thickness, more for thicker spears and less for skinnier ones. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Pat the asparagus dry with paper towels.
• Place the asparagus in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or, if necessary, two sheets. Sprinkle the spears with salt to taste, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, and turn to coat. Shower the asparagus with the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Bake until the spears are tender and the cheese is browned and almost bubbling (it won't actually melt), about 5 minutes.
• Use a spatula to shimmy the asparagus from the baking sheet to a platter. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the reduced balsamic vinegar or a few drops of the really top notch stuff and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Serve immediately, with the remaining reduced balsamic vinegar on the side.

BALSAMIC ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH FLEUR DE SEL AND PARMESAN

• Place the asparagus in a roasting pan and drizzle on the oil and sprinkle with the pepper.
• Shake the pan to coat the asparagus evenly with oil.
• Place in the oven and roast until asparagus is softened but retains a little crunch, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Watch it carefully!
• It's so sad to overcook it!
• Remove from oven, arrange on a serving platter and top with the balsamic vinegar, fleur de sel and freshly grated parmesan (no kraft please! Use the real stuff).
• Serve immediately.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH POACHED EGG AND PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Fill a large saucepan two-thirds of the way with water. Add the white vinegar and bring to a boil.
• Holding the tip and stem of each asparagus spear, snap the asparagus where it will naturally break. Discard the ends. Toss the asparagus with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and some salt.
• Place the asparagus in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
• Reduce the heat on the water until the bubbles in the water have subsided.
• Gently crack and drop the eggs into the water. Cook the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes. When done, the whites will be cooked through and the yolks will be warm but still liquid.
• Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the eggs from the saucepan and blot the bottom of the spoon on a paper towel before plating the egg.
• Remove the asparagus from the oven.
• Divide the roasted asparagus spears on plates and top each set of asparagus with a poached egg. Sprinkle with the grated Parmigiano and a couple flakes crushed red pepper. Sprinkle with a few drops olive oil.

SIMPLE ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 425ºF, convection roast if you have it.
• To prepare the asparagus, snap off the end of each spear. Discard or compost the end. Cut the spears in half. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish or a sheet pan or something similar.
• Drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to ensure each spear is nicely coated and seasoned. Transfer pan to the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tips of the asparagus are just lightly beginning to char.
• Remove the pan from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Taste one spear. If it tastes under-seasoned, sprinkle the entire dish with more salt to taste. Using a peeler - this is my favorite - shave parmesan over top to taste.
• Finish the dish by drizzling the syrupy balsamic over top.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH SAGE AND LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the spears are just tender when pierced with a knife.
• In a small skillet, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the sage leaves and cook, stirring often, until the butter is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
