Awesome Asparagus

Submitted by Shawn C

"I love this recipe because it is simple, quick and tasty. The asparagus is tender/crisp. WE have also used feta cheese either with or without the parm cheese to twist the flavor a little- great! Since we are on a low carb diet this recipe really brightens up our menu."

 

• Ready In: 11mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 bunch asparagus, washed and trimmed (usually a 1 pound bunch)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

directions

1. In medium fry pan (preferably non stick), heat oil and butter on med-high heat. Place asparagus in pan trying to get in a single layer so all can cook evenly. Season with the salt and pepper (adjusting to taste), cover with a lid to help "steam" the asparagus for about 5-6 minutes, tossing occasionally with tongs.
2. When done to your likeness of crisp or tender, toss in the parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

I have never cooked asparagus before or even really liked it, but my boyfriend loves it, so I agreed to cook it. This recipe is awesome and so easy. I will be cooking and eating asparagus again.

Yum! I had no idea I liked asparagus until I tried this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing it. I like my asparagus pretty soft so I double the cooking time and add a little bit of cold water to the pot about half way through to complete the steaming. Love this! :)

Excellent!!! Will make this every time we have Asparagus on the menu. Works great with canned. Just drain the liquid first.
