Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, bring an inch or two of water to a boil in a small pot. Whisk together the egg yolks, crème fraîche, Parmesan, and garlic in a large heatproof bowl that will fit snugly in the pot without making contact with the boiling water.
- Set the bowl in the small pot and whisk the egg mixture constantly, occasionally scraping the sides and removing the bowl from the pot every couple of minutes as you whisk to keep the cooking nice and slow (don't let it bubble). The mixture will look thick and clumpy for a few seconds, then become liquidy, and then, once the cheese has melted, silky smooth. Cook just until the liquidy sauce has thickened slightly (it should thinly coat the back of a spoon), 6 to 8 minutes. Set the bowl aside in a warm place.
- Salt the large pot of boiling water generously until it tastes slightly less salty than the sea. If you're confident that the pasta and asparagus will finish cooking at the same time, add them both to the water. If you're a worrywart, cook the asparagus first, scoop it into a colander to drain, then cook the pasta. Cook the asparagus until it is juicy with a slight bite, 3 to 4 minutes; and cook the pasta until it is fully cooked, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and asparagus well in a colander, then pop them back into the now-empty pot. Pour in most of the fonduta and toss gently but well. Season to taste with salt and more fonduta, if you'd like. Transfer to bowls, top with a little more Parmesan, and eat straightaway.

ROASTED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:
- Make fonduta:
- In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water melt butter. Add Fontina and milk and heat, stirring with a whisk, until cheese begins to melt. Whisk in yolks and cook, stirring constantly with whisk, until smooth and thickened slightly, about 7 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and remove bowl from pan. Stir sauce 1 minute while water in pan cools slightly. Return bowl to pan and keep sauce warm over hot water (off heat), whisking occasionally to eliminate skin that forms on surface.
- Preheat broiler.
- On a baking sheet toast bread about 3 inches from heat, turning, until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Rub tops of crostini with cut side of garlic and brush with oil. Season crostini lightly with salt. Divide crostini among 4 plates and top with prosciutto.
- In a deep 10- to 12-inch skillet bring 1 1/4 inches salted water to a boil and cook asparagus until crisp-tender, about 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer asparagus with tongs to a colander and drain. Divide asparagus among crostini. Pour fonduta over them.
Tips:
- Asparagus: Choose thin, tender asparagus spears. If they are too thick, peel the bottom inch of the asparagus to remove the tough outer layer.
- Prosciutto: Use thinly sliced prosciutto for easy wrapping.
- Fontina Cheese: Use freshly grated Fontina cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- White Wine: Use a dry white wine for the fondue. Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are good choices.
- Crusty Bread: Use a baguette or other crusty bread that will hold up well under the fondue.
- Garlic: Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
- Baking: Keep an eye on the crostini while they are baking. They should be golden brown and crispy, but not burnt.
- Serving: Serve the crostini immediately with the fondue. You can also garnish them with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and Prosciutto Crostini with Fondue is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of asparagus, prosciutto, and Fontina cheese is simply irresistible. The fondue is the perfect dipping sauce for the crostini, and it adds a touch of richness and creaminess. This dish is sure to be a hit with your guests!
