Asparagus with Parmesan Lemon Sauce image

Quick and delicious accompanyment to any meal. The lemon pepper and cheese really compliment the fresh taste of asparagus.

Provided by Childrens Minister

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch fresh asparagus
salt
lemon pepper
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/3 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Wash Asparagus under running water to remove any residue.
  • Cut half inch off the bottom of each asparagus stalk.
  • Bring One quart salted water to a rapid, rolling boil.
  • While water is coming to boil, melt butter in medim size bowl in microwave.
  • Drop Asparagus in boiling water.
  • Watch close, boil Asparagus only about 3-5 minutes.
  • Asparagus will become a very vibrant green.
  • Pull Asparagus out of water and place in bowl containing butter.
  • Season with salt, lemon pepper, and sprinkle with couple tablespoons of cheese.
  • Toss to coat the asparagus with butter and seasonings.
  • Plate asparagus, or place in serving bowl and top with remaining parmesan cheese (or to taste or visual appeal).

Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus that is bright green, firm, and has tightly closed tips. Avoid asparagus that is limp, wilted, or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus, about 1 inch from the bottom. You can also use a vegetable peeler to remove any tough outer skin.
  • Cook the asparagus quickly: Asparagus cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality butter: The butter you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a high-quality, unsalted butter for best results.
  • Add lemon zest and juice to taste: The lemon zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor to the dish. Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and add more lemon zest or juice if desired.
  • Garnish with Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to the dish. You can use grated Parmesan cheese or shaved Parmesan cheese.
