Crispy toasts with asparagus cheese and chili

Can you eat green asparagus raw? Of course they are, they are delicious and crunchy.

Crispy toasts with asparagus cheese are a delicious snack. I found the recipe in Jamie Oliver's book* and immediately fell in love with it. This is a great idea for a quick and delicious sandwich, for breakfast or dinner. We can prepare bruschetta from bread, rolls, baguettes or ciabatta.

INGREDIENTS

• a bunch of green asparagus
• a handful of fresh basil leaves
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 50 g finely grated parmesan cheese (or grana padano) and more to serve
• 250 g ricotta cheese
• olive oil
• 6 - 8 slices of bread, I used ciabatta
• 1 clove garlic

Set the asparagus ribbons aside, and what is left, cut into pieces, add basil leaves, a pinch of salt, lemon juice and pulsely blend. Add Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and blend again. At the end, add the ricotta, mix, try and season.
