Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs thick asparagus spears
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp freshly grated Italian Pecorino cheese
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • Fleur de sel

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.

  • Place 12 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot, cover, and bring to a boil. Remove and discard 1 1/2" from the woody ends of the asparagus. Peel the bottom 2" of each spear with a vegetable peeler. (Note that the peeler works best if you dip it in a glass of water from time to time.). When the water boils, add the asparagus and blanch for 3-4 miinutes until al dente. Drain.

  • Transfer the asparagus to a 10 x 12" rectangular baking dish. Add the butter, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and toss to coat the asparagus. Arrange the asparagus decorately in the dish, sprinkle with the Pecorino and Parmesan, and roast fo 5 minutes, until the cheese melts. Squeeze on some lemon juice, sprinkle with fleur de sel, and serve hot.
