Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 lb asparagus (tough ends cut or snapped off)
3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1 ounce Parmesan cheese (shaved with a vegetable peeler)

Steps:

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Once it's hot, add the oil and asparagus. Using tongs, toss the asparagus so that it cooks evenly. (Make sure the asparagus is completely dry before adding it to the pan to avoid any oil splatters)
After 3 minutes, add the garlic to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes more then remove the pan from the heat.
Add the parmesan to the pan and toss the asparagus so it's coated in the cheese. Serve right away.

SHAVED ASPARAGUS WITH ARUGULA AND PARMESAN

Shaved Asparagus With Arugula and Parmesan image

You can get asparagus from Peru all winter long, and early spring asparagus from Mexico and Southern California. This is not a dish to make with those. It celebrates your local, regional asparagus, whenever it shows up in your local farmers' market, after months of apples, potatoes and sturdy greens. Simply shaved, then dressed with oil and paired with arugula and Parmesan, it makes for a spring salad of enormous satisfaction.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 pound large or medium asparagus
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons fruity extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
6 ounces arugula, washed and dried
Chunk of Parmesan, for shaving
Sliced prosciutto (optional)

Steps:

Snap off and discard the tough ends of the asparagus. Using a mandolin, sharp vegetable peeler or thin-bladed knife, slice the asparagus lengthwise into paper-thin ribbons.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil to make a dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Place the asparagus ribbons in a shallow salad bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper and coat with half the dressing. Add the arugula, tossing gently to distribute the asparagus. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
With a vegetable peeler, shave thin curls of Parmesan over the salad. Accompany with a platter of sliced prosciutto, if desired.

ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM SALAD WITH SHAVED PARMESAN

Asparagus and Mushroom Salad With Shaved Parmesan image

This is such a fresh Spring or Summer salad! I parboil the asparagus slightly first though and sometimes use butterleaf lettuce instead of the watercress. This is from Gourmet magazine.
