Remember my risotto? And remember how I’d had one only days before? Though that restaurant risotto didn’t quite hit my need-for-cheese spot, it did do something very fabulous: topped the tomato-based risotto with asparagus and goat cheese. And that combination? OH MY YUM!
I decided tonight to try to duplicate that deliciousness at home, minus the risotto. And so, I made some spaghetti tossed with butter and a little lemon, which I topped with steamed asparagus and slightly-melty herbed goat cheese (the husband also got some chicken from the Foreman grill, which he pronounced “dry”).
And?
YUM.
The restaurant asparagus was better prepared, but even with my slightly-less-than-perfection steaming, this combination? Is a winner.

Don’t know how well I’d like this over spaghetti, but the combo is a winner!

I love asparagus cooked in the oven. Ever tried that? I toss it in a little olive oil, garlic, kosher salt and pepper. Roast it on a sheet for about ten minutes. mmmm. You can do the same thing in a foil packet on the grill.

I love asparagus. But what is with the pee smell. Gets me every time.

Ok – so weird, but I made almost the exact same thing last night! Took thin spaghetti, cooked it and then threw in lemon juice, butter and dill. Chopped up some asparagus we had in the fridge, cooked it in the microwave, and added it in. It was so good, and now I am freaked out that we are in each others minds. Haha.
