Provided by DALEPFEFFER

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Vegetable

Time 1h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 thin slices sandwich bread, crusts removed
¾ pound butter
4 ounces blue cheese, at room temperature
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 egg, beaten
20 fresh asparagus spears

Steps:

  • Trim crusts from bread, and flatten slightly with a rolling pin.
  • In a bowl, stir blue and cream cheeses together with the egg until well blended and creamy. Spread a thin layer of cheese mixture over each slice of bread. Roll one asparagus spear inside each, and fasten with a toothpick.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan. Roll each asparagus wrap in butter to coat. Place on a baking sheet small enough to fit into the freezer, and freeze for one hour, or until butter hardens and wraps are somewhat firm. Remove pan from freezer, discard toothpicks, and cut each wrap in half crosswise. Store in a resealable plastic bag in the freezer until ready to use.
  • To serve, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  • Arrange frozen asparagus wraps on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Check occasionally, and turn if necessary, for even browning and to prevent burning. Enjoy!

FARFALLE WITH ASPARAGUS, ROASTED SHALLOTS AND BLUE CHEESE



Farfalle with Asparagus, Roasted Shallots and Blue Cheese image

Categories     Pasta     Bake     Blue Cheese     Asparagus     Spring     Shallot     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds medium shallots (about 24), peeled, halved lengthwise
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs made from French bread
1 1/2 pounds farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
2 pounds thin asparagus, trimmed, cut diagonally into 11/2-inch pieces
1 pound creamy blue cheese (such as Saga blue or Gorgonzola), cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss shallots with 2 tablespoons oil on baking sheet; spread in single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons oil and breadcrumbs in skillet over medium heat until crumbs brown, about 4 minutes. (Shallots and crumbs can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover separately; keep at room temperature.)
  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water 10 minutes. Add asparagus; cook until asparagus is crisp-tender and pasta is tender but still firm to bite, about 4 minutes. Drain pasta and asparagus. Transfer to large bowl. Immediately add blue cheese and shallots. Toss until cheese melts and pasta is well coated. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowls. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping them off or using a knife.
  • Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. The best way to cook asparagus is to cook it until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
  • Use high-quality blue cheese. The type of blue cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Choose a blue cheese that is creamy and flavorful.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best served fresh out of the oven or off the grill. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook it and then reheat it gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Asparagus with blue cheese is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make. By following these tips, you can make sure that your asparagus with blue cheese is perfect every time. Whether you are serving it as a side dish or a main course, this dish is sure to be a hit.
