In this month's Recipe Redux for the New York Times, Amanda ponders the ever-shortening length of vegetable cooking times and asks Carlo Mirarchi, chef at Roberta's in Brooklyn, to reimagine a Mimi Sheraton recipe from 1977 for Asparagus Alla Fontina. Read the article and see both excellent recipes here.

I made this a couple of days ago, the original version, with a couple of little tweaks. I sautéed the asparagus instead of boiling it, and I used a raw milk Italian Fontina instead of Gruyère. It was delicious, and surprisingly, almost even better cold the next day for breakfast. Yeah, I'm weird like that, but I'm very happy to have this recipe.

Sounds like a great adaptation!

I smirked on Sunday when I read this piece in the Times magazine and saw the topic was asparagus! Glad you are posting these columns on food52 so everyone here can enjoy them. Lovely recipes, btw.
