Sauteed Garlic Asparagus

Also, to those who’ve never tried asparagus before, pick some spears up and follow this recipe below!

• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine (we use olive oil instead)
• 1 bunch fresh asparagus [$2.49/lb] Tip- look  for really thin asparagus!
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• Salt (to taste)

Melt the butter/margarine (We use olive oil instead) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, salt and asparagus spears; cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until asparagus is tender. If you like your asparagus well done, reduce heat and cook an additional 10 minutes.

My kids beg for more!
