parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Break off the tough, fibrous ends of the asparagus by bending them until they snap.

Place the asparagus into a baking dish.

Chop 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the asparagus.

Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Toss the asparagus to ensure they are evenly coated with oil and salt.

Preheat the grill; set one side to high and the other side to medium.

Place the asparagus on the medium side of the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Add a scrap of ribeye to the high side of the grill to infuse the asparagus with beef smoke while cooking.

After about 10 minutes, check the asparagus for color and tenderness, then remove from the grill.

Plate the asparagus and top with cacio e pepe compound butter, grating it over the top with a microplane.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
