Simple, Easy, Delicious Parmesan Asparagus

There is nothing quite like fresh, tender asparagus as a side dish. It looks bright on the table. Plus, asparagus goes with so many types of meals, whole or chopped. Put it beside eggs, salmon, scallops, chicken casserole, ravioli, risotto, a pasta toss, or grilled steak (just to name a few), and you’re done! Alternatively, turn it into a soup, or wrap it in prosciutto. 

This parmesan asparagus recipe keeps the asparagus intact, but for removing woody ends. In shopping for your stalks, seek those with a bright green color. If you see a bundle with nearly the same thickness and length, this recipe cooks more uniformly. Should you need to store them before cooking, dampen a paper towel and wrap it around the stalk ends. Placed in the refrigerator these will keep for about two days (you want them fresh!).

  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
