Method
Rinse, peel and trim the asparagus.
Blanch them first for 3-4 minutes, then place them in a bowl with ice and water or run them under cold running water. This way they will still be firm and retain their bright colour.
Line a baking tray with baking paper and arrange the asparagus in a row. Sprinkle mozzarella chunks, a generous handful of grated pecorino cheese, a pinch of salt and black pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top.
Bake to 180 C / Gas Mark 4 / F 350 about 20 minutes. Serve.
