- 1 bunch fresh asparagus
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt to taste
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Rinse asparagus and snap off woody stem ends. Dry asparagus and arrange in a single layer in a shallow baking dish (a nonstick jelly-roll pan works well). Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and roll the spears to coat well. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.
- Roast in oven for 7 to 14 minutes depending on the thickness of the spears (thin spears will take much less time than thick ones). When done, asparagus should still be crisp.
- About 3 to 5 minutes before the asparagus are done, place chopped walnuts in a small pie tin and put into the oven alongside the asparagus. Watch so they don't burn!
- Remove asparagus and walnuts from the oven. Divide asparagus among four luncheon plates. While asparagus are still hot, sprinkle them with the gorgonzola and the roasted walnuts.
- Allow to cool slightly. Serve at room temperature for best flavor.
