About this recipe

Whether you're making soup, baking a tart, or serving asparagus as a side dish, one thing is certain: asparagus loves a short cooking time. Its delicate tips especially can turn mushy in no time, and once that happens, they simply don't taste the way they should. That's why we cook asparagus standing upright in a tall pot, using just enough salted water to cover the stalks while the tips stay above the waterline and cook gently in the steam.
