How to Make Awesome Pesto Asparagus
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and snap off the tough ends of 1 pound of asparagus. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender. Do not overcook!
- Immediately transfer the blanched asparagus to a colander to stop the cooking process.
- In a medium bowl, gently toss the asparagus with 1/4 cup pesto, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes.
- Transfer the asparagus mixture to a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Crumble 1/2 cup feta cheese over the asparagus.
- Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
