Roasted Asparagus With Parmesan Cream Sauce
Description
This recipe begins by trimming and drying fresh asparagus spears before roasting them at 360°F for about 10 minutes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Meanwhile, a Parmesan cream sauce is prepared by whisking eggs, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese together, then gently warming the mixture in a saucepan over low heat until melted and combined. Butter is stirred in at the end, and seasoning is adjusted.
The cooked asparagus is arranged on a serving dish over a base layer of the Parmesan sauce, then topped optionally with Parmesan shavings and fresh black pepper. The asparagus texture is tender with slightly crisp tips, and the rich sauce lends a silky, cheesy coating that enhances its flavor without overpowering it.
This dish suits as an elegant side for various meals and should be served promptly to enjoy the sauce’s texture and warmth.
