2 lb asparagus, fresh
2 Tbsp butter
3 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 c water
1 Tbsp chicken bouillon granules
sesame seeds

2. Melt butter in pan under medium heat and add minced garlic. Cook about one minute.
3. Add asparagus and sauté for about three minutes. Add Italian seasoning and cook for another minute.
4. Add bouillon to water and add to pan. Let asparagus simmer over medium to low heat for 3 minutes. Remove from pan and discard liquid. Top with sesame seeds serve immediately.
