Asparagi Alla Parmigiana (Italian Asparagus Gratin) image

Found online; posting for ZWT 7-Italy. *Updated 10/10/13-Finally made this and really enjoyed! I had very skinny asparagus so I should have decreased the cooking time. I used butter and drizzled a little olive oil on top too. I recommend using thicker asparagus or decrease cooking time.*

2 lbs asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1/2-2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Butter a shallow gratin or baking dish that is just large enough to hold the asparagus.

  • Instead of the butter use olive oil or half butter and half olive oil.

  • Layer a couple of slices of prosciutto in with the asparagus if you like.
  • Sprinkle with a little lemon zest for added zing.
