• In blender or small food processor, purée olive oil, basil and parsley to make a thin pesto. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or other nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add butter and swirl to coat pan, then add asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring for about a minute without browning.
• Quickly pour in eggs and stir with a wooden spoon, as if making scrambled eggs. Tilt pan and lift mixture at the edges to allow any runny egg from the top to make its way to the bottom. After 3 or 4 minutes, the frittata should be mostly set. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Lay a lid over the skillet, and turn off the heat. Leave for a minute or so, until frittata is moist and just done. (Alternatively, place pan under a hot broiler for a minute or so.)
• Set whole burrata in the center of frittata. Drizzle with herb pesto. Pierce burrata with tip of a knife and spoon contents over frittata. Cut frittata into wedges and serve directly from pan, garnished with basil leaves.

BURRATA WITH ASPARAGUS, BROWN BUTTER, GUANCIALE, AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and place them in the oven to toast for 12 to 15 minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant, shaking the pan occasionally so the nuts brown evenly. Remove the almonds from the oven and set them aside to cool to room temperature. Drizzle the almonds with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, sprinkle them with sea salt, and toss to coat them with the seasonings. Slice the almonds in half lengthwise.
• After you put the almonds in the oven, lay the guanciale slices on a baking sheet and put it in the oven with the almonds until the guanciale is cooked through but not crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the guanciale from the oven, transfer it to paper towels to drain, and cut each piece of guanciale in half on the diagonal.
• Increase the oven temperature to 450°F.
• Snap off the asparagus stems at the natural break and discard the stems. Put the asparagus spears on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle them with the kosher salt. Spread the asparagus out in a single layer and roast them in the oven until they start to brown but are still al dente, about 10 minutes. Remove the asparagus from the oven and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Place the butter in a medium saucepan (preferably stainless steel). Cook the butter over medium-high heat without stirring, but swirling the pan occasionally to brown the butter evenly, for 3 to 5 minutes, until the bubbles subside and the butter is dark brown with a nutty, toasty smell. (As you cook it, the butter will foam up and begin to brown, then the milk solids will drop to the bottom and the foam will subside. At this point the butter is done. Turn off the heat immediately, as the line between brown butter and burnt butter is a fine one.)
• To serve, lay five to seven asparagus spears side by side on each of four plates (preferably oval or rectangular), pulling the tips of some of the spears so they aren't lined up evenly. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the brown butter along the length of each serving of asparagus spears to coat them with the butter. Cut the burrata into four equal segments and lay one segment on top of each serving of asparagus. Use the back of the tablespoon to create a small crater in each segment of burrata and spoon 1 tablespoon of the brown butter into each crater. Drop 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs in clumps, avoiding the butter (clumping them keeps them from getting soggy), over each serving of burrata and asparagus. Sprinkle the almonds over and around the asparagus and burrata, and lay two pieces of guanciale overlapping each other on top of each serving.

ASPARAGUS AND HERB FRITTATA

Steps:

• Steam the asparagus until tender, about 5 minutes. Refresh with cold water, drain and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch slices and set aside.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Beat in the milk, salt, pepper, and herbs. Stir in the asparagus and the Parmesan if using.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan every once in a while, until the frittata is just about set. Meanwhile, light the broiler.
• If the frittata is not quite set on the top, place under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, for 1 minute, watching closely, until just beginning to color on the top. Do not allow the eggs to brown too much or they'll taste bitter. Remove from the heat, allow to sit in the pan for 5 minutes or longer, then carefully slide out onto a platter, or cut in wedges in the pan. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.

HERBED FRESH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, bring 1/2 in. of water to a boil. Add asparagus; cover and boil for 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and keep warm., In the same skillet, saute garlic and seasonings in oil until tender. Add the asparagus, red peppers and walnuts; heat through.

BURRATA SALAD WITH FRIED ZUCCHINI AND VEGETABLE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Use a mandoline to thinly slice beets and eggplant into "chips." keeping them separate so eggplant does not turn red. Lightly drizzle with 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil and season with salt flakes. Lay out each vegetable piece on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping them.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn each slice over and continue baking until crisp and golden, watching carefully so they don't burn, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add sliced zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook until zucchini begin to brown lightly. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the parsley.
• Lay out burrata and pan-fried zucchini on a serving platter. Add eggplant and beet chips. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and another turn of black pepper.
• Brush sourdough slices with remaining oil. Heat a griddle pan over medium heat until it begins to smoke. Toast sourdough slices on the hot griddle for 1 minute. Flip and toast for 1 more minute. Serve toasted sourdough with the salad.
