Oh My Gosh! This is delicious. I made it with fresh asparagus and blanched just as the note suggested and cooled in cold water with ice cubes to chill quickly to stop the cooking process. I made the recipe exactly as stated, right down to my fresh picked basil. This recipe is to die for. Thanks Mr. Food.
