Asparagus With Garlic Butter And Parmesan Cheese

• 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed of woody ends (thick spears)
• 125 g butter (no substitute)
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed (I actually grate mine on my microplane grater)
• salt and pepper
• 40 g parmesan cheese, grated (finely)

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil, drop the asparagus in and cook for about 2 minutes or until just, just tender crisp. Plunge into iced water to stop them cooking, then drain.
2. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant.
3. Season with salt and pepper, the add the asparagus to the pan, tossing and turning gently in the butter until hot.
4. Divide amongst 4 plates, then sprinkle each serve with the cheese.
5. We liked crusty bread to mop up the rest of the garlic butter, but it's up to you!
