Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Place the spelt on a rimmed baking sheet and roast in the oven until a nutty aroma emerges, about 7 minutes. Add the spelt to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 15–20 minutes. Drain and toss the spelt in a large bowl with the raisins, lemon zest, and juice.
  2. Toss the asparagus with 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread into an even layer and roast for 2 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove the asparagus from the oven and arrange the tomatoes on a baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake until the tomatoes begin to burst, about 3 more minutes.
  4. Combine roasted asparagus and tomatoes with spelt and parsley. Sprinkle with ricotta salata and serve.
