Italian Villa Asparagus
You can eat this with a nice cold glass of Pinot Grigio and pretend
you're in a villa in Italy overlooking some picturesque town, instead
of boiling in your 90 degree apartment with no air conditioning.
Ingredients:
1 bunch of asparagus
1 or 2 eggs
Parmesan cheese
butter
salt and pepper
Snap off the ends of the asparagus -- just grab hold of the end and
bend; they'll tell you where they want to snap -- and give them a
rinse. You can cut off the little triangle things on the sides if you
want to, but it's an entirely cosmetic decision. Fill a frying pan
with about a half inch of water and bring it to a boil. Add some salt
to the water. Drop the asparagus in the water. Cook for about four
minutes, maybe less, depending on thickness of the stalks. You want
bright green and slightly crunchy. Drain the aspargus, put on a
plate, and dot with butter. Add a bit of salt and pepper.
Poach the eggs. (I'd love to tell you how to do this but I absolutely
suck at it. Poach according to directions on egg, I guess.)
Put the eggs on top of the asparagus. Sprinkle with the parmesan
cheese. Now, stab your eggs. The hot yolks will melt the cheese and
the butter and make the best sauce in the world.
