An Italian Asparagus Recipe

This asparagus recipe is very simple. It is very common in Veneto and makes a perfect starter course.

The cheese is really important with this dish, if you don’t use the right cheese it changes the recipe completely and the end result is nowhere near as delicious.

I of course have the added problem that if the cheese isn't right I am going to have a complaining husband ... boy can he go on!

100 gr, of grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano cheese.
