Equipment

1 skillet

Ingredients

1 pound asparagus
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup onions sliced
2 garlic cloves minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1/8 cup of grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Place the asparagus on a cutting board and cut or break off the ends (should be about 1 inch) and discard. Cut the remaining stalks into 1 ½ inch pieces.
Heat a large skillet on medium high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the onions and cook on medium high heat for 5 minutes or until softened.
Add in the asparagus, salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the desired firmness.
Add in the minced garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.

Notes

Asparagus stalks come in varying sizes and thicknesses. I like to use a medium thickness. Thinner spears will require less cooking time, thicker may need more time.
