Parmesan Asparagus

The other night I wanted to make something different instead of having steamed Asparagus. I decided to jazz up my dish a bit by adding a few ingredients. This is a pretty easy side dish recipe that's great to make for even a weekday meal.



Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2-3 teaspoons of grated Parmesan
1 bunch of Asparagus (bottoms removed), steamed

Materials:
Medium sized Corning Ware Dish with glass lid
Tablespoon
Teaspoon
*Frying Pan (optional)

Either sauté the asparagus in a frying pan with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. or cook asparagus in corning ware (add a little bit of water to the bottom) in microwave for 2-4 minutes depending on thickness. 

If you cook them in the microwave, cook until tips are tender and drain water. Then add Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

If you cook them in a frying pan, remove from heat when tips are tender and place asparagus in corning ware.

Finally, add parmesan. Don't add Parmesan when asparagus is piping hot. Let it cool for a minute, then add parmesan. 

Cover with lid until you serve.
