Directions

  1. Combine the asparagus and water in a 10 inch skillet and place over medium heat, cover. Allow the asparagus to steam until tender, about 10 minutes, drain. Reduce heat to low and return the skillet to the heat. Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Add the grape tomatoes to the skillet and replace the lid. Allow to sit covered until the cheese melts and the tomatoes are slightly steamed, about 2 minutes.

Recipe Note

This a deliciously easy way to prepare asparagus. Sometimes I add julienned carrots and steam them together. It all looks very pretty with the colors.
