Just tried this recipe on a whim and the butter cooked away so fast that the garlic started to burn. Left a burnt taste on the asparagus too. I added some salt, pepper, and parmesan like others suggested, and that helped to cover the taste, but I would say go with an olive oil next time to avoid the burning.

Excellent! I made this on mothers day for dinner, went over very well with the other guests. I added a bit of sea salt to it.

We eat asparagus this simple delicious way ALL the time! If you use unsalted butter you may need a sprinkle of salt and I like to add a couple turns of fresh black pepper. Yummy!

So simple and so satisfying. I don't cover the asparagus, and just use butter, garlic and a little salt. I can't say I've timed the cooking - but it comes out perfect every time. Truly a great preparation for my very favorite vegetable.

What a quick, easy & good tasting way to cook asparagus. We love garlic so this was a perfect recipe for me & I even got my husband to eat it. I also added mushrooms. Couldn't have been any better!

Read a lot of reviews before I made this...cut mine into 1 1/2 inch pieces used half the butter for 8 mins. First...my garlic did not burn and It was finely minced....4 cloves. Second, the asparagus did not need to be blanched it came out perfectly crisp and beautifully green.....thanks for a great recipe...will try adding wine, soy or lemon juice as others suggested for variation. So quick, easy and delicious.

Very simple to make and delicious. I followed another reviewer's suggestion and used olive oil instead and put a bit of white wine at the end. Very good!
