Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh asparagus trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prep the Asparagus: Wash and trim the asparagus, cutting off the tough ends. Cut the spears into bite-sized pieces.
  • Sauté the Asparagus: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-5 minutes until it begins to soften.
  • Make the Cream Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the asparagus and stir to coat. Gradually add the milk or cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the Cheese: Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, pairing with your favorite main dish.
