re: Let's talk roasted asparagus

That looks like a Tom Fitz recipe for asparagus.

Clean and blanch for 60 seconds.

Line em up like soldiers on a rimmed baking dish.

Pour a few ribbons of EVOO covering the soldiers.

Salt, pepper, crushed red pepper and a little lemon juice

Sprinkle of heavy layer of parmesian or pecorino romano cheese.

Broil on high until everything is nice and browned.

Let cool for a bit and serve everyone a section of the raft.

Delicious!
