Sauteed Asparagus with Garlic and Parmesan

Sauteed Asparagus with Garlic and Parmesan

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch fresh asparagus
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Rinse asparagus spears and pat dry. Remove rough ends with a knife. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-heat heat. Add the garlic and asparagus spears; cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until asparagus is tender. (Reduce heat to medium-low and cook an additional 10 minutes if you like your asparagus very tender). Transfer to a serving platter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
