Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 10 grape tomatoes, halved

Directions

  1. Combine the asparagus and water in a 10 inch skillet and place over medium heat; cover. Allow the asparagus to steam until tender, about 10 minutes; drain. Reduce heat to low and return the skillet to the heat. Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Add the grape tomatoes to the skillet and replace the lid. Allow to sit covered until the cheese melts and the tomatoes are slightly steamed, about 2 minutes.
