Steps:
- 1. Place a pizza stone (if using) in a cold oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- 2. Bring 1 quart of salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan and fill a large bowl with water and ice. Add the asparagus to the boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then immediately drain the asparagus and drop them into the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again when cool.
- 3. When all the ingredients are ready, roll the dough into a 10.5-inch round. Build the pizza in this order: sauce, crab, mozzarella, asparagus, roasted pepper. Add some freshly cracked pepper.
- 4. Bake the pizza for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- 5. Shave the Parmesan onto the pizza, slice it, and serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon and green onion, and half of the lemon zest.
- 1. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes to create a roux. Lower the heat to medium, add the garlic, cayenne, ancho chile, nutmeg, cracked pepper, and paprika and stir for 1 minute. Gradually stir in the cream, whisking constantly until the mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:
- Bring stock and bay leaves to a boil in a large pot. Cook asparagus until tender and add to stock pot. Melt butter in a separate saucepan and gently saute onions, celery, and carrots (mirepoix) until tender, then gradually add flour (with a non-reactive utensil such as a wooden spoon), and cook until similar to a roux. Transfer to the pot of stock to thicken soup. Let simmer for 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves from soup. *Blend to a puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender or food processor. Add cream to the soup, and keep warm over low heat.
- For the crab "souffle," mix crab, mayonnaise, thyme, salt and pepper, and squeeze of fresh lemon juice, trying to avoid breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Place a scoop of the crabmeat in the center of soup bowl and ladle the asparagus soup around. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Steps:
- Wash leek in a bowl of cold water, agitating water, then lift out leek and pat dry.
- Cook asparagus in a wide 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer asparagus with tongs to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry. Cut off and reserve tips (leave more stalk if asparagus is thin), then thinly slice stalks crosswise.
- Heat butter in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat until foam subsides, then cook leek with 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in sliced asparagus and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and remove from heat.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
- Whisk together cream, 2 eggs, tarragon, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Lightly beat remaining egg with water in a small bowl and brush pie shell all over with some egg wash. Spoon asparagus mixture into shell, spreading evenly, then pour cream mixture over asparagus.
- Bake until filling is just beginning to set but still loose on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Scatter asparagus tips over top, pressing lightly if necessary to help them settle into filling, then continue to bake until custard is golden and just set but still slightly wobbly in center, about 30 minutes more (custard will continue to set as it cools).
- Cool on baking sheet on a rack until warm, about 30 minutes. Loosen edge with a small sharp knife. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

HEARTY ASPARAGUS PIE
This hearty quiche is as attractive as it is flavorful! It looks complicated to make but is actually a simple recipe. The secret is the crust - it's refrigerated pizza dough that I season with basil and Parmesan cheese. But the asparagus spokes are what make this pie special for the holidays. It almost seems too nice to cut, but we're always glad we did when we taste a slice.

- Preheat oven to 350ºF Bake your crust for 3 minutes. We used Pillsbury pie dough and it worked out great. We did spray the pie pans with Pam spray to keep the crust from sticking. Combine eggs, flour, mayonnaise and milk, mix well. Add cheese, 1 teaspoon Old Bay, onion and pepper and mix well. Fold in crab meat and try not to separate the lumps of crab meat too much. Pour into 2 separate pie crusts, sprinkle with additional Old Bay Seasoning. Bake at 350ºF for 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean. (Check at about 40 minutes to avoid burning, since ovens vary.)
CRAB AND ASPARAGUS TART
A savory tart, its silky custard thickly studded with crab meat to pick up the sweetness of the wines, and asparagus to tame tropical fruit and citrus flavors with vegetal, mineral notes and a hint of bitterness, will make for a lovely lunch or a predinner snack. Come summer, some diced zucchini can replace the asparagus. It also delivers a kick, not in the filling but in the pastry. There's no heat from the subdued alcohol in the bottle. The cayenne in the crust makes up for it.

Tips:
- For the perfect flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter adds flavor, while shortening helps keep the crust tender.
- Make sure the butter and shortening are very cold before adding them to the flour mixture. This will help prevent the gluten in the flour from developing, which can make the crust tough.
- Use ice water to mix the dough. This will help keep the butter and shortening cold and prevent the gluten from developing.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. This will help prevent the dough from sticking and tearing.
- Trim the edges of the dough and fold them under to create a rim. This will help hold the filling in place.
- Use a fork to prick the bottom of the dough before baking. This will help prevent the dough from puffing up too much.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- When adding the filling, make sure it is evenly distributed across the crust.
- Bake the pie for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Overbaking will make the crust dry and crumbly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from running out when you cut into it.
Conclusion:
Crab asparagus pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and succulent crab and asparagus, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give crab asparagus pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
