Steps:
- Boil a pot of water. While it's heating to boiling, clean up the end of the asparagus (I cut them off) and then boil them for 3 minutes.
- Drain them and put them in a cold water bath.
- In a blender, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic clove, onion and softened cream cheese together until blended.
- Add the asparagus and pulse a few times to mix that in. We actually really blended it in, just because I love the green color.
- Put the asparagus dip into a heat proof dish and sprinkle with some more Parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbly and the top is slightly browned.
