Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus
Salt to taste if desired
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Cut off and discard about 2 inches of the stem ends of the asparagus. The remaining spears should be about 6 inches long.
  • Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil in a saucepan and add salt.
  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Add the asparagus to the water. When the water returns to a boil, let cook 3 minutes or to the desired degree of doneness. Cooking time will depend on the size of the asparagus. Drain quickly.
  • Arrange the asparagus in overlapping layers on a baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with cheese and butter. Place under the broiler for about 2 1/2 minutes or until the cheese is glazed.
