A tip I got from my parents to modify the traditional German (Westphalian?) asparagus recipe of boiled white asparagus and potatoes with melted butter or sauce hollandaise on top: The potatoes and asparagus taste at least as good if instead of the butter or sauce you sprinkle some olive oil on top and add a generous amount of freshly ground parmesan cheese.

(An especially good alternative if one happens to have forgotten to buy boilded ham and it happens to be a public holiday and all the shops are closed - the parmesan adds so much aroma that we didn't even miss the ham.)
