How to Make

  • Step 5: Heat butter, oil, and water in saute pan. Add asparagus and lemon juice; toss.

  • Step 6: Remove from heat, place on platter. Add salt and pepper to taste, incorporating for even seasoning distribution. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top and serve immediately. Pass additional grated cheese, if desired.
