Ingredients:
18 fresh asparagus spears
40g butter, melted
fresh shavings of Parmesan cheese, to garnish
Method:
Snap off any woody bases from the asparagus. Peel the bottom half of each asparagus spear (only necessary if the skin is very thick). Bring a pan of water to a boil, plunge the prepared asparagus spears in this and cook for 3 minutes (or until the asparagus looks bright green and is just tender).
Drain the asparagus and arrange attractively on a warmed serving plate. Drizzle over the melted butter, garnish with the Parmesan shavings and serve immediately.
