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.
