How to Make Asparagi Alla Parmigiana Italian Asparagus Gratin
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Butter a shallow gratin or baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
- Arrange a single layer of asparagus spears in the dish, tips pointing in the same direction.
- Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Sprinkle 1/3 of the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the asparagus.
- Repeat layers 2-4 until all asparagus and cheese are used, ending with a layer of cheese.
- Dot the top with 1 tablespoon of butter (or drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, or use a combination of both).
- Place the dish on the top rack of the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until asparagus is tender-crisp, browned slightly, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
