    • 200g asparagus, blanched

    • fresh basil, to serve
    • grated Parmesan, to serve
    • sea salt and freshly ground black

    Roll the pastry out on a floured work surface and cut into 4 squares. Place the squares on lined baking trays and score the edges of the pastry with a sharp knife to create a border. Prick the inside of the square with a fork.
