Instructions

Notes
Don't know how much to take off the end of the asparagus? Place your asparagus in a sink and add enough cold water to cover. Move the asparagus around to remove any grit or dirt. Pick up each piece and grab with two hands near the end. Bend the asparagus slightly and it will snap where it moves from woody to tender.
Instead of parmesan, goat cheese is lovely on top of asparagus as well.
