Hi Angels Working on Earth Family!
Fresh and satisfying! The sauce may be made thick or thin according to taste. The recipe called for Parmesan cheese, but I decided to use Feta cheese instead. It was the cheese of the day. Its’s amazing how seeming misfortunes can actually become a blessing! Had I used parmesan cheese, the dish would not have the beautiful aesthetic as seen in the picture. Its ok to go off the beaten path, so alter the ingredients according to your preferences.
In my opinion, the asparagus and feta cheese combination is filling and delicious. For me, it’s the flavor and the experience. I love beauty and feeling cozy, aka Le Creuset brand. You may purchase Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Deep Round Grill 975 Cerise
