2 tsp lemon juice
crushed red pepper flakes and sea salt

toss asparagus with EVOO, garlic, lemon juice and 2 tsp of water in microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high 2-4 minutes. Add salt and pepper

    I make a dish almost exactly like this, except I roast the asparagus. It is delicious!

    Sounds good, I've been really craving asparagus lately! My boss just told me about a recipe her mom makes with it. You slice up red onion and place it on top of the asparagus and then sprinkle parmesan over top of that and bake it. YUM!

    This is one of my most favorite side dishes. Sometimes I like to bake it in the oven, also. I think I want to go to Trader Joe's and pick some up to make with some BBQ chicken.
