- Spoon in 1/2 of the rice mixture into a greased 12 cup ovenproof dish. Arrange the bocconcini over the rice. Top with the remaining mixture. Sprinkle over the tasty cheese. I use a lasagne dish to make this recipe.

- If you like you may add a few leaves of roughly chopped fresh basil leaves as an added garnish.
- Serve either at room temp or refrigerate till serving time.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
- Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus, about 1 inch from the bottom. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Cook the asparagus quickly. Asparagus is a delicate vegetable that can easily overcook. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp. You can also roast or grill the asparagus, but be careful not to overcook it.
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, and thyme, will add a lot of flavor to your asparagus dish. Fresh lemon juice and zest are also great additions.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to cook asparagus. Try different recipes and find the ones that you like the best.
