Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cream Sauce image

This easy side dish has loads of Parmesan flavor, yet it tastes light enough to not overpower the asparagus. The sauce comes together in minutes while the asparagus roasts in the oven. Quick enough for a busy weeknight meal. Use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, as the bagged variety doesn't melt well.

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup low-fat milk
