INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus spears, and cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes, or to desired firmness. Drain off excess oil, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.

Note: The butter can be substituted with extra olive oil. I use butter for the flavor.

This recipe is awesome. I alter it slightly to decrease fat. I steam for 3 minutes, drain, then saute in 1 T oil and 1 T butter for 5 min. and then sprinkle fresh parm cheese on it. Wonderful!

This is the only way we prepare our asparagus now! VERY GOOD! Another way to prepare it is in the oven. You can spray a pan with Pam, then you line up the asparagus and shake it a bit so all sides are coated with the spray. Then sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Bakes at 450 for 5 minutes. Then sprinkle with paremesan when you pull the pan out of the oven. Baking and spraying with a fat-free cooking spray may make it a bit healthier

Although I am not a big asparagus fan, I have to admit this was actually pretty good. My husband loved it...anything with cheese. Thanks for this new way to cook a not so tasty veggie.
