Roasted Asparagus Draped with Parrano
 
     
     
 
  • 1 lb asparagus trimmed
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt plus additional to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus additional for greasing the baking pan
  • 1/4 lb Parrano shaved with vegetable peeler
 
     
  Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease cookie sheet with olive oil. Bring large pot of water to boil, add 2 tbsp kosher salt then blanch trimmed asparagus until tender, 2-5 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Drain asparagus and let dry briefly on paper towels. Toss asparagus with 2 tbsp olive oil and salt to taste. Divide asparagus into 4 piles on prepared cookie sheet, with all spears facing the same direction. Drape shaved Parrano over the asparagus piles, keeping the tips uncovered. Roast about 8 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the asparagus is hot. Serve at once.
