Sautéed Asparagus with Roasted Garlic

Sauteed Asparagus or so easy to fix that I serve them several times a month. They are great with most pasta dishes, grilled chicken and even grilled steak. Sometimes I'll garnish with roasted Sun Flower Seeds to give them a nutty flavor.

1 bunch of Asparagus
2 cloves of Garlic
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmagiano Reggiano Cheese
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and fresh cracked Black Pepper to taste

Wash then remove the hard bottoms from the Asparagus and let drain.

Slice Garlic Cloves paper thin and set aside. Heat Olive Oil over medium heat in a large skillet and saute sliced Garlic until brown making sure not to burn.

Remove Garlic from heat and drain on some paper towels. Saute Asparagus about 5 Minutes, keep moving. Add Garlic Powder and a pinch of Salt and fresh cracked Black Pepper then saute 2 more Minutes.

Remove Asparagus from heat and place in a serving dish. Garnish with Browned Garlic, Parmagiano Reggiano Cheese and serve.
