Lidia Bastianich Instagram – Skillet Asparagus. In springtime, when farmers’ markets sell really fresh, locally grown asparagus — or if you’re lucky enough to pick spears in your own asparagus bed — cook them by the skillet method. You’ll find it concentrates the natural sweetness and subtle asparagus flavors that are at their peak for only a day or two. Butter and cheese are natural complements to asparagus, and in the final moments of cooking here they both get a delicious toasting. Buon Gusto!
