This recipe embodies the simplicity and elegance of Italian cuisine. Tender, slightly sweet asparagus becomes even more delicious with creamy butter that adds richness and softness. The harmony is completed by the delicate aroma and salty taste of grated Parmesan. In Italy, asparagus is considered a spring delicacy when it is particularly juicy and fresh. The dish is perfect as a side for meat or fish but can also serve as a light snack on its own. It’s a great choice for those who appreciate simple yet expressive flavors that highlight the naturalness of the ingredients.
