How to Make Asparagus With Goat Cheese Sauce

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of asparagus and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Immediately transfer asparagus to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and maintain vibrant green color. Drain well.
  2. While asparagus cooks, prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 ounces of softened goat cheese, 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives, 1 clove minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Gently toss the drained asparagus with the goat cheese sauce ensuring all spears are coated.
  4. Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course. Garnish with extra chives, if desired.
