to prepare well

Bring water to a boil, add salt and a pinch of sugar, and cook the asparagus until al dente. Remove the asparagus and drain well in a sieve. Cut the pork fillet into thick slices, flatten them slightly, and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of butter in a pan, sear the meat on both sides, browning it lightly, and then remove it from the pan. Stir the flour into the butter with a whisk and brown it slightly. Deglaze with 1 ladle of asparagus water, stir in the cream, and reduce it slightly, season with salt and pepper. Place the asparagus in a baking dish, arrange the meat pieces on top, pour over the sauce, and scatter the mozzarella on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 25 minutes, until the cheese has melted and browned. Serve with white bread, rice, or pasta.
