How to Make Asparagus Parmigiano

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a shallow 8x8 inch baking dish.
Steam 1 pound asparagus spears until crisp-tender (about 5-7 minutes).
While asparagus steams, sauté 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme to the saucepan.
Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Arrange the steamed asparagus in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the asparagus.
Top with 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced.
Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the asparagus is tender.
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh basil (optional) and serve with a dollop of cottage cheese, if desired.
