Thank you for the introduction to this intriguing variety of asparagus. I’d love to know how it is used in recipes that showcase its distinctive flavor!

Hi Domenica! Thank you for the note :)

Here is what Ilaria, the issue's author, replies:

In my opinion the best way of respecting the asparagus' flavour is with recipes that do not overshadow its delicate flavour: a risotto with shallots and white wine; a flan; or simply "gratinati" in the oven.

Oh goodness ~ all of those sound wonderful. I hope I have an opportunity to be in Lombardy when these asparagus are in season!
