- Drain well and return the asparagus and pasta to the pot along with 3/4 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano, cream, 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring for a couple of minutes so cheese melts; add more of the pasta water if mixture becomes dry.

- Serve with a sprinkling of the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano.

ASPARAGUS-PARMESAN TART
Store-bought puff pastry makes easy work of this seasonal tart recipe from "Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home." For the most flavorful (and flaky) results, look for all-butter brands of frozen puff pastry, such as Dufour. Follow this dish withShrimp in Saffron Broth and Apricot-Almond Ice Cream Sandwiches for a quick spring meal.

This easy side dish has loads of Parmesan flavor, yet it tastes light enough to not overpower the asparagus. The sauce comes together in minutes while the asparagus roasts in the oven. Quick enough for a busy weeknight meal. Use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, as the bagged variety doesn't melt well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; remove pastry dough from freezer and let thaw for 10 minutes.
- While dough is thawing, wash and trim asparagus so it is 1 1/2 inches shorter than width of pastry sheet.
- In medium bowl, combine cream cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped basil leaves and lemon juice; set aside.
- Unfold dough onto a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray; cut into 4 equal rectangles.
- Separate slightly; spread cream cheese mixture onto each of the pastry rectangles, alternating directions, not quite to each edge.
- Press four asparagus spears onto each rectangle, alternating direction.
- Sprinkle pastries with sea salt and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until pastries are golden brown.
- Remove from oven, cut each pastry in half and transfer to serving platter.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of shave parmesan cheese and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for thin, firm spears with tight tips. Avoid thick, woody spears, as they will be tough and fibrous.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. The easiest way to do this is to snap off the bottom inch or two of each spear.
- Cook the asparagus al dente: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. The best way to do this is to blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a Parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 12 months.
- Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it is thick and creamy, but not too thick. If the sauce is too thick, it will be difficult to pour over the asparagus.
- Serve the dish immediately: Asparagus Parmesan cream pastry is best served immediately, while the asparagus is still hot and the sauce is still creamy.
Conclusion:
Asparagus Parmesan cream pastry is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making it a great option for busy weeknights. With its creamy sauce, tender asparagus, and crispy pastry, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
