Description

A simple yet elegant dish that showcases fresh asparagus in a savory garlic butter sauce.


Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the olive oil, butter, and minced garlic.
  2. Cook and stir for one minute or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  3. Carefully add the asparagus to the skillet, seasoning it with salt and black pepper.
  4. Stir occasionally for about 5-7 minutes, or until the asparagus turns a vibrant dark green and becomes tender.
  5. Remove the asparagus from the pan and pour the buttery garlic mixture over it generously.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Consider adding grated Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon for a twist.
