Cómo preparar Asparagus With Parmesan Lemon Sauce
- Wash asparagus thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry.
- Snap off the tough bottom ends of the asparagus spears; you can do this by bending each spear until it naturally breaks at the tender point.
- Bring 1 quart of salted water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
- While the water heats, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized bowl in the microwave or over low heat on the stovetop.
- Once the water boils, carefully add the asparagus spears.
- Blanch the asparagus for 3-5 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp. Do not overcook.
- Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water using tongs and transfer it directly to the bowl with melted butter.
- Season the asparagus with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper.
- Add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl.
- Gently toss the asparagus to coat it evenly with the butter, seasonings, and cheese.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
