Asparagus Saute

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 bunch fresh asparagus

A few shakes garlic powder or 1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced onion

4 tablespoon Parmesan cheese or as much as desired

Rinse asparagus spears and pat dry. Remove rough ends. Cut into 1-2 inch pieces. This helps it all cook evenly and not be too mushy or too hard.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, minced onion, and asparagus spears. Add salt and pepper. Stir and cook until tender, but still crunchy. Approx. 10 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese in for the last couple minutes of cooking.
