Instructions: Heat your oven real hot - 500 to 550F is good. Place asparagus in a single layer in a shallow baking disk, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with a bit of coarse salt and roast, shaking the disk occasionally until the tips are starting to get a bit crunchy. Serve as is or drizzled with a little EV olive oil and balsamic or sherry vinegar.

1. Cook al dente in water, cut into pieces similar in length to the pasta in step 3.

2. Heat a couple cups of milk, add a few tablespoons of butter and crumble in some imported gorgonzola and parmesan cheese, stirring all the time until thick and creamy/saucy. I probably use about 2-3 ounce of gorgonzola and a big handful of parmesan, but I just keep adding until it tastes right to me.

Keep warm

3. Cook some penne, fusilli or other pasta shaped sort of like asparagus al dente

4. Toss 1, 2 and 3 together. You can pass the cheese sauce through a strainer if you want to remove some of the blue veiny stuff from the sauce.
