Robin's Parmesan-Asparagus Spread

Robin's Parmesan-Asparagus Spread

I adapted this recipe from one I saw on TV and my husband loved it! I like to serve this spread on oven-toasted Tuscan pane bread, first spread with a thin layer of cream or goat cheese, as a light lunch. Enjoy!

  1. Step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cut asparagus, and continue cooking until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the pistachios, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute longer.
  2. Step 2

    Place the asparagus mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the Parmesan cheese and capers. Process until pureed. Cool before serving.
