Simply Sauteed Asparagus with Garlic & Parmesan

Print Recipe
Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • Asparagus, your portion, any tough ends trimmed off
  • 2 teaspoons Olive oil
  • Salt & freshly ground pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the trimmed asparagus in a large pan – large enough that all of the asparagus fits in a single layer.
  2. Cover the bottom of the pan with water, place over medium high heat and cover. Steam the asparagus for just a few minutes, until it is bright green in color and fork tender, but still has some bite.
  3. Drain any remaining water from the pan
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus, add the chopped garlic, some salt and pepper, and toss well.
  5. Cook over high heat until the garlic has softened and the asparagus begins to brown slightly.
  6. Remove from the pan to a serving dish, ensuring that you scrape all garlic and olive oil out of the pan with it.
  7. Top with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and freshly grated parmesan cheese
  8. Serve immediately

Notes

  • Note: The asparagus can also be roasted in a 400 degree oven until tender and slightly browned. Add the garlic for the last 5 minutes or so of cooking so it doesn’t burn, and top with lemon and parm after plating, just like the above.
