I too added minced garlic and a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. And only cooked 7 minutes. Yummy!

this is my FIRST time making asparagus and my husband and i just loved it!! the only reason i gave it 4-stars is b-cuz i changed some things according to the reviews. i used reduced the butter and added EVOO so not to burn the butter/garlic. covering it did make it a bit mushier than i preferred so next time i'll leave it uncovered and cook it for about 5-7 minutes instead! overall, asparagus will now be a staple food in our house =)

I'm so glad I chose this simple recipe over other, more glamorous-sounding recipes for my first foray into farmers market fresh asparagus. I added a splash of white wine, fresh chives, and pine nuts. Mmmm. And after some patient simmering, voila! Perfection!

This was my first time cooking asparagus & my family love it. I gave it four stars because I had to work it the recipe. I didn't have whole garlic, so I used garlic powder. I also used some lemon pepper season, added olive oil and cut the butter. I will be preparing this dish agian.

Even the kids loved it (the ones who said "Ew, I'm not trying that.") Easy and really good - definitely adding it as a regular feature at my dinner table.

This is the best way to cook asparagus if you don't like it mushy. I used 2 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of olive oil to keep it from burning. Instead of chopped garlic, I used garlic salt, along with lemon pepper and lemon juice. I had some sliced mushrooms, so I sauteed them for a few minutes on medium heat, then added the asparagus, which I had broken in half. I stir-fried it without timing it, and when it was still bright green, I tasted several pieces and they were perfect - tender but still slightly crisp. I am going to be eating more asparagus now that I have found a great way to cook it.

Fantastic alternative to the traditional steamed asparagus covered with butter recipe I was raised on. Took the advice of Karen in the comments (April 5, 2007) and sauteed a bunch of asparagus with 1.5 tbsp olive oil, a tsp of basalmic vinegar, and a tsp of garlic for about 5 minutes, then topped with parmesan. The asparagus was crisp and the flavors were complimentary without drowning the asparagus. This recipe will be THE way we cook asparagus from now on.

I gave this recipe a 4 simply because I've adjusted it a little. I only use about 1 1/2 tbsp of butter (enough to coat the asparagus) and I use 2 cubes of crushed frozen garlic that I get at my grocery store (they are fabulous...1 cube = 1 clove of garlic). I let the butter and garlic melt together in the pan before adding the asparagus so the flavors have a chance to mingle (sooo yummy). I don't cover my asparagus as I like it to have a little crunch to it. I then saute it until it's color turns bright green (toss it often in the pan to get all sides of the asparagus the same bright green color)this should only take a few minutes. I also crack a little black pepper on the asaparagus while it's cooking. My family always requests asparagus this way and it's the only way I've been able to get my kids to eat it (they love it like this)!

Tasted good, but I will cut back on the butter a little next time, and also reduce the heat to medium (med-high burnt some of the garlic).

This did not turn out well for me. The garlic burned in the butter and my asparagus was a little burnt and very oily.

Use Olive Oil instead of butter for a healthier version... I find garlic burns too fast so I used garlic powder and kosher salt. To make it go better with my italian dinner grated parm at the end was the perfect answer.
