For best results, use freshly shaved Parmesan cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains cellulose, which can prevent it from melting properly. Don't overcook the asparagus! You want it to retain a slight bite. A high-quality balsamic vinegar makes a significant difference in this dish. Look for one that is thick and syrupy with a complex flavor. Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
