Asparagus Cacio e Pepe

This is a recipe born from the fact that I had nothing else in the fridge but a bunch of asparagus and two guests about to arrive for dinner. It was so good and, as a result, ended up on the restaurant’s menu, and here is the recipe for you. It combines the sharp, cheesy richness of traditional cacio e pepe sauce with the fresh, green snap of asparagus, turning simple ingredients into an elegant and satisfying meal that’s perfect for surprising dinner guests.
