Asparagus Recipe ⊶ Asparagus Side Dish

This a deliciously easy way to prepare asparagus. Sometimes I add julienned carrots and steam them together. It all looks very pretty with the colors.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
• ⅓ cup water
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 10 grape tomatoes, halved

Cooking Directions

1. Combine the asparagus and water in a 10 inch skillet and place over medium heat; cover. Allow the asparagus to steam until tender, about 10 minutes; drain. Reduce heat to low and return the skillet to the heat. Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Add the grape tomatoes to the skillet and replace the lid. Allow to sit covered until the cheese melts and the tomatoes are slightly steamed, about 2 minutes.
