Add the asparagus and season with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook the asparagus, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still bright green, about 4 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to a platter and garnish with lemon zest.

• Spread zucchini, yellow squash, and grape tomatoes out on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic and sea salt.

SAUTEED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat and heat. Once oil is hot add asparagus spears; cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water and cover to steam asparagus and keep it from drying out. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until asparagus is tender. Season with salt and pepper.

ASPARAGUS AND ZUCCHINI SAUTé

• Cut off stalk ends of asparagus and throw away. Cut off tips and reserve in bowl. Cut the remaining stalk in halves or thirds (your discretion).
• Slice the zucchini in half and then slice up in bite-size chunks.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan.
• Add finely chopped garlic, slice leeks and sauté until browned.
• Add mushrooms to the fry pan and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
• Add asparagus (except for tips) and zucchini to the fry pan.
• Add salt and fresh ground black pepper.
• Cover and simmer until tender; about 10 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and asparagus tips and cook for a further 5 minutes until the tomatoes are cooked but not mushy.
• Garnish with grated fresh parmesan cheese.

ASPARAGUS, SQUASH, AND RED PEPPER SAUTé

Steps:

• Heat the oil and wine in a wide skillet. Add the bell peppers, squash, and asparagus, and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until all the vegetables are tender-crisp to your liking, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
• Now that the seasons for fresh produce have been stretched by imports, it's not quite as much of a thrill to see the first asparagus of early spring. A pity, since I once considered the arrival of asparagus to the market as much an awaited sign of spring as forsythia and robins. Still, I like to stick with vegetables that are in season by buying locally. Freshly picked, slender asparagus is more agreeable to my eyes and palate than thick, stringy imported winter asparagus.
• Spring asparagus needs to have only about half an inch trimmed off the bottom of the stalks; scraping is unnecessary when the stalks are slender. Asparagus makes a good side dish, simply steamed, with a tiny bit of nonhydrogenated margarine or whipped butter added. Microwave cooking yields good results; place the stalks in a small casserole dish with just enough water to keep them moist. Cover and cook until tender-crisp to your liking. How long this takes depends on the quantity and quality of the asparagus, so test often and serve right away.
• Another great way to prepare slender asparagus is to cut it into 2- to 3-inch lengths and sauté it in olive oil with minced garlic.
