Asparagus Recipes

enjoy and don't set your table on fire (yes, I've done that)

Serve this dish by itself, with a salad on the side. It may also be served as a first course and should feed 5 to 6 people.

In Italian Primavera means spring, and the sauce should be made with the first vegetables out in the spring. In the winter you might use such vegetables as broccoli, red peppers and zucchini. Enjoy

This risotto gets its velvety texture from the asparagus puree that's stirred in before serving

THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE RECIPE THAT WILL BE A HIT AT ANY DINNER PARTY.

Rotolini Di Asparagi

Delicate asparagus is gently scented with orange zest and basil (mint would also be nice). A sprinkling of subtle Asiago cheese allows each ingredient to shine equally.

This is a light combination of penne, fresh asparagus, and grilled shrimp. Toss everything together just before serving and top with toasted pine nuts.

In many families the asparagus is served separately with a sauceboat of melted butter and little dishes holding soft-cooked eggs. Eaten with the fingers, first by dipping asparagus into melted butter, and then in the creamy egg yolks. Pure heaven and a very sensuous experience!!
