Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 or 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1⁄2 lbs asparagus, trimmed and chopped
  • 1⁄3 cup shredded Asiago cheese

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a saute pan with a clear lid over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in asparagus and increase heat to medium-high.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons water, cover, and steam one minute, or until asparagus is bright green and just tender.
  4. Remove from heat, stir once more and then sprinkle Asiago over the top.
  5. Replace the lid to melt the cheese and keep dish warm until serving.
