Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 lb. asparagus rinsed, dried, and trimmed
- 1 clove garlic minced (1 large one or 2 small one)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese shaved or shredded (optional)
Instructions
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add in the asparagus in to the pan making sure to not to overcrowd the pan. Cook, turning a few times using tongs for even cooking for about 6-7 minutes.
- Add in the minced garlic, salt and pepper. Give it a gentle stir. Cook for another 30-45 seconds or until garlic is lightly browned (but not burned).
- Transfer onto a plate and garnish with shaved parmesan cheese. Serve.
Notes
- Cooking Time: The cooking time might change based on the way you prepare your asparagus. As you can see in the pictures, I used whole spears. However, you can cut them in small (2-3 inch) pieces before cooking. I find that it takes a little shorter (due to increased cooking surface), 1-2 minutes less, if you do so.
- Thin Asparagus: If you are using thin asparagus, be aware that it cooks much faster. I recommend keeping a close eye on it after the 3- minute mark.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: If you are using a smaller skillet or want to saute more asparagus, I recommend you cook in batches rather them overcrowding the pan.
- To Store: Place the leftovers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge upto 3 days.
