ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE



Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cream Sauce image

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.

Provided by France C

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Asparagus     Baked

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup low-fat milk
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 pinch lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place asparagus on the baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and lightly toss to coat evenly.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until asparagus is tender-crisp, about 10 minutes for thin asparagus, or 14 minutes for large asparagus.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until softened, taking care not to burn garlic. Sprinkle flour onto butter and cook, whisking constantly until mixture is golden and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk and bring to a light boil until sauce starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and continue whisking until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat - sauce will further thicken.
  • Place asparagus on a serving platter and drizzle with cheese sauce. Garnish with lemon zest and serve immediately.

CREAMED ASPARAGUS



Creamed Asparagus image

I made this last Easter instead of creamed spinach to accompany our leg of lamb dinner. It was a major hit, so I'll be making it again this year.

Provided by JoAnn Cambareri

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Asparagus

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound asparagus spears
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup beef broth
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup whipped cream cheese
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse asparagus under cool water to remove any grit. Snap off the bottom inch or so using your fingers; the stems will naturally break where the tough woody part ends and the tender stem begins. Remove the ends. Dry the spears by rolling them between two kitchen towels. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, beef broth, and garlic powder. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes more. Reduce heat to low; add cream cheese, yogurt, nutmeg, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted and creamy, about 3 minutes.

GERMAN CREAMED ASPARAGUS



German Creamed Asparagus image

Years ago, mothers believed that the presence of toast and eggs with this meal helped children learn to eat a vegetable that is less familiar to them since it only would make it to the table seasonally. They would place the toast along the outer rim, lay sliced egg on top of the asparagus and pour the cream sauce over top of the...

Number Of Ingredients 7

asparagus spears
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
dash(es) pepper
toast
hard boiled eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Steam asparagus in 1/2 inch of water until soft. Lift out of water and set aside, keeping warm.
  • 2. To 1 cup of cooking water, add 2 Tbsp butter, 2 Tbsp flour, 1/4 tsp salt and dash of pepper. Stir until smooth and thickened.
  • 3. Place asparagus on a serving dish. (Optional: Put squares of toast around the edge and slices of hard boiled eggs on top.) Pour cream sauce over and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, woody, or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
  • Cook the asparagus until tender: You can cook asparagus in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, or grilling. Cook the asparagus until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The creamy asparagus sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Serve the asparagus on toast: Toasted bread is a classic accompaniment to creamy asparagus. You can use any type of bread you like, but a sturdy bread like sourdough or French bread works well.

Conclusion:

Creamy asparagus on toast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the asparagus is tender and slightly crunchy. Served on toasted bread, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
