This was a good basic recipe. I prefer more seasonings. My husband assisted in cooking this, so I added olive oil with the butter to prevent burning. That didn't help. ****PLEASE make sure you have the heat low enough**** My husband learned a valuable lesson......I am always right when I am in my kitchen! Overall a good recipe, great for a family dinner.

I always steam asparagus when I have it...it was nice to get a pan-fried crunch and the garlic and butter were dreamy...

This was delicious! I did try one of the suggestions and used olive oil instead of butter and added balsamic vinegar. I love this website!!:)

I substituted the butter with olive oil but with the medium high heat you have to be rotating them very often otherwise they burn. Next time I will add the sea salt as someone else mentioned. I cooked them uncovered for lack of big enough lid for around 8-10 minutes and they still came out soggy but thats the way I like them. Very yummy. Will make again.

The recipe is all right however it forgets to address one major focal point of vegetable cookery. Now of course this is an option and not required however I would first blanch the asparagus because sauteed asparagus has an unattractive brown tint to it. To blanch; bring a pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Prep a large mixing bowl(size varies on quantity) fill with ice and cold water. Place asparagus in boiling water for about a minute then remove and put in ice. Let it sit for a few minutes and then remove, pat dry - then saute. Good Luck & more importantly have fun.

Perhaps I misunderstood some portion of this recipe? I opted for the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic version with a saute time of approximately 8 minutes. My asparagus was fairly thin so it shouldn't have taken more cooking time than that. In the end, however, I found it to be stringy, chewy and without the expected flavor! I opted to bake the asparagus for another 10+ minutes at 400 degrees and that helped somewhat. But, still stringy with very little flavor! In the future, I will return to boiling or baking my asparagus and using a combo of melted butter and balsamic vinegar as a drizzle or a dip for the spears.

I used the advise from other reviews and used olive oil. I let the oil, garlic and olives cook for a little while then added the asparagus and let it cook for about 10 minutes. It turned out great. My husband can't wait for me to make it again!

This recipe was a really great starting point. I ended up using 1 tbsp of butter and about 1 tsp of prepared minced garlic, which I sauteed with the asparagus for about 5 minutes. I then added some sea salt and fresh squeezed lemon. I cooked for another couple of minutes(to the crispness I liked), then served with a little bit more fresh lemon. Delicious!
