Fresh white asparagus can be very difficult to find. However, canned white asparagus can be very delicious when cooked this way.
1 1-pound can white asparagus, drained
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat broiler. Arrange asparagus in a 9-inch glass pie plate and dot with butter. Sprinkle with paprika and Parmesan cheese. Broil 3 inches from heat four to five minutes, or until asparagus is heated through and cheese begins to turn a golden brown. Serves two to three.
