Notes

  • Do not exceed ten minutes unless your asparagus is really thick, in that case you can add couple more minutes. You don’t want your asparagus mushy; it should be soft but still a little crunchy.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh dill or parsley.
  • Best to grate the parmesan cheese yourself than to buy pre-grated.
