Asparagus is a powerful aphrodisiac. Dress it up with some Parmigiano Reggiano for a healthy, romantic dish.

2 Lbs asparagus stalks, washed and trimmed
Parmigiano- Reggiano cheese
Extra- virgin olive oil
Coarse salt or sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper

Use a vegetable peeler, shave curls off the Parmigian-Reggiano cheese.

Snap or cut off the tough ends of the asparagus. Arrange asparagus in a single layer in a shallow baking pan.
Blanch the asparagus in lightly salted boiling water for approximately 3 minutes or until crisp-tender; do not overcook. Remove from heat and refresh under cold water; drain well.
Toss asparagus with just enough olive oil to lightly coat. Arrange asparagus on a serving platter or individual serving plates.
Sprinkle coarse salt, pepper, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese curls over the top of the asparagus.

2 chipotle peppers in adobo, available in cans on specialty food aisle in Mexican section
1/2 pound chorizo sausage, sliced thin on an angle
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling
1 clove garlic, cracked away from skin and crushed
12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed, ask for easy-peels at fish counter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (12- inch) gluten-free tortillas

Top wedges of quesadillas with liberal amounts of smoky guacamole.
