Cheesy Baked Asparagus with Mascarpone and Parmesan

This dish is a delicious and fuss-free way to showcase this spring's favourite veggie. The green asparagus still retains its texture and flavour, but it's enveloped in a rich, creamy, cheesy custard-like sauce. It's is surprisingly simple with a very short list of ingredients, but so flavourful and decadent. Use medium asparagus for this recipe, as delicate, thin spears will overcook. Mascarpone has 55% fat, if it is too rich for you, then substitute with ricotta or crème fraîche.

 
  • 800 g-1 kg Green asparagus, trimmed
  • Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper
  • 200 g Mascarpone
  • 2 Eggs
  • 50 g Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated
  • Chives and sprouts to garnich, optional
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Wash the asparagus and cut off the woody ends. Cook the asparagus in a pot of boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain, rinse and drain well.
  2. Place the asparagus spears in a baking dish. Season with black pepper. Mix the mascarpone with the eggs until smooth. Season with pepper and a little salt and spread over the asparagus.
  3. Finely grate the Parmesan over the asparagus and bake in the hot oven for 25 minutes until golden brown. Serve, garnished with chives and sprouts if using.

El mascarpone siempre lo relaciono con repostería aún cuando sé que sirve para muchas más recetas. La de hoy es muy buena y no abusando mucho del queso se puede disfrutar de ella sin problema.

I can make this tomorrow! I had to Google macaroons, so now I know how to make it. And I have this lovely fresh cream from the raw milk we are getting now from a young farmer.

I always prefer large-medium asparagus as the thinner ones usually turn out
"stringy" and fibrous.
