Ingredients: 1 lb asparagus spears, trimmed. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. Blanch the asparagus spears in boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until the sauce thickens slightly. Arrange the blanched asparagus spears in a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the creamy sauce over the asparagus, making sure it is evenly distributed. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the asparagus. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this delicious low carb asparagus gratin as a tasty side dish with your favorite keto meal!
