During the spring and summer, there's so much asparagus, we don't even know how to handle it. We love it simply roasted, but there's so much more to do with the vegetable: You can make parmesan asparagus, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, or asparagus soup. But our favourite way to prepare it as a fancy side: Top it with garlic, a little cream, Parmesan, and mozzarella and bake it until the cheese is bubbly and golden and the asparagus is tender. This will be gone in seconds.
