Let's talk roasted asparagus

Rub asparagus in olive oil. Dust with salt lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Roast @ 350 until done. I have sauteed it very much the same way. Any ideas for something different? What say the FNDB?

Add some balsamic vinegar next time.

Saw a Dutch cooking show done with white asparagus and they mixed melted butter with bread crumbs, piled them on top and roasted. I found the white asparagus here in Hou last year and it was pretty good.

Toss on the grill to get that char flavor

Cooks Illustrated, in an artilcle I just read, says preheat the baking pan at 500. Toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil and S&P.
Put it on the hot pan and roast for 8 to 10 until done. Don't shake the pan or rotate it. Gets good browning on the bottom. Drizzle with more oil when done.
Have not tried that method yet, but I have roasted many times at 400, flipping part way through.

Cut prosciutto into thin slices and wrap around two asparagus stalks at a time. Lay them all out on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper generously. Sprinkle with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. Roast in oven. After you take out of drizzle with a balsamic glaze. We have this as a meal with wine and a baguette.

Drizzled with olive oil and fresh cracked pepper. These hit my grill for just a few minutes, then I hit them with Maldon finishing salt immediately off the grill.
If I feel like messing with more prep, I'll wrap a few pieces in bacon like a peppermint cane and secure with toothpicks.

Use Cavender's Greek Seasoning with a little fresh pepper, along with EVOO and a squeeze of lemon.

The asparagus gratin at Doris Metropolitan is the best asparagus I've ever had.
I imagine it wouldn't be hard to replicate. Internet seems to favor a parmesan and marscarpone mixture.

Stuff with cream cheese and wrap in bacon

Roast in the oven with salt, pepper, evoo. While roasting, brown 3/4 a stick of butter. Once butter is browned add in 1/4 cup of soy sauce and a 1/4 cup of balsamic. Let it reduce briefly then pour sauce over the asparagus and serve. So damn good.

While we're talking asparagus, I'll share this recipe from the Silver Spoon's "Pasta" Cookbook.
It's basically a layered macaroni and cheese with asparagus dish. Great with steaks, chicken or seafood.
The method for cooking the asparagus is also pretty good.
Pasta al Forno con Asparagi
Baked Pasta with Asparagus
14 oz penne or other short pasta
4 1/2 oz butter
2 lb asparagus, washed, tough stalks removed
and cut into short lengths
A little chicken stock
10 oz ricotta or similar curd cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
4 1/2 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350
Melt 1 1/2 oz of the butter in a pan and cook the asparagus over a low heat for about 2o minutes. Every so often, add a little stock to keep moist. When the asparagus is cooked, season to taste.
While the asparagus is cooking, process the ricotta cheese with the oil. Cook the pasta for half the time stated on the packet. Drain and immediately toss in the remaining butter and half the cheese.
Butter a deep oven dish. Make a thin layer of pasta, then one of asparagus, then one of pasta again and then one of ricotta.
Repeat, finishing with a layer of pasta.
Beat together the eggs and the remaining cheese and pour over the top. Sprinke with black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
