Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and wash them under cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Asparagus

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the asparagus, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the asparagus is tender but still crisp.

  2. 4

    Layer the Dish

    In a baking dish, spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom. Layer half of the sautéed asparagus over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta cheese over the asparagus, then sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan and half of the mozzarella on top. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients and top with bread crumbs.

  3. 5

    Bake the Dish

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil on top before serving.
