ASPARAGUS AND PROVOLONE GRATIN

Don`t cook the asparagus any longer than are just bright green and crisp tender .
Alone these can be served as a starter  or even better as a lunch with a salad.

Start by heating your grill .
Plunge 2 bunches of asparagus ...( woody bottoms snapped off ) into a pot of salted  boiling water .
Cook for 3 - 6 minutes depending on their thickness.
Drain the asparagus and place in a shallow baking dish  ( preferably the one you will take to the table ).
Arrange 125 gm of thinly sliced provolone cheese  over the stalks , avoiding the heads.
Scatter with 2 tbs of finely grated parmesan cheese and drizzle liberally with oil.
Season with black pepper.

Grill the asparagus until the cheese starts to melts .
Serve on heated plates .

Simple and good .
