Quick and Easy Fresh Asparagus
This is my favorite vegetable. As soon as asparagus comes in season we have it a few times a week. Fresh grated Parmesan is best, but canned will do. Quick, easy, healthy and delicious!
1 bunch of medium sized asparagus, about 1 lb
2 Tbsp of the extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon lemon zest or 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and black pepper
1 Rinse asparagus, break off any tough, white bottoms and throw away. Cut into 1 to 2 inch sections.
2 Parboil the asparagus for exactly 2 minutes. (drop in while water is at a full boil).
3. Drain the water. While the asparagus is still hot, toss it in a bowl with the olive oil, Parmesan, and lemon rind. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or room temperature.
