About This Recipe

I love asparagus and I am always looking for different ways to enjoy them. I usually boil or pan fry them but, on this occasion, I decided to roast them and pair them with mozzarella cheese and I was not disappointed!

Asparagus is known for having a strong taste with bitter undertones which people either love or hate. However, the baked mozzarella cheese adds a salty cheesy flavour which compliments the asparagus perfectly.
