SAUTEED ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Once it's hot, add the oil and asparagus. Using tongs, toss the asparagus so that it cooks evenly. (Make sure the asparagus is completely dry before adding it to the pan to avoid any oil splatters)
• After 3 minutes, add the garlic to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes more then remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the parmesan to the pan and toss the asparagus so it's coated in the cheese. Serve right away.

SAUTEED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Wash the asparagus and trim off the ends. Cut the stalks into bite-sized pieces.
• In large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the asparagus, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the largest pieces are tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. This depends on the thickness and maturity of the asparagus, so it's different every time! Taste and remove when it's just tender and still bright green, but not crunchy (cook a minute longer if you need to).
• Meanwhile, zest the lemon and juice it. When the asparagus is done, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and lemon zest. (Optional: top with feta cheese crumbles or shredded Parmesan.)
