Add a little olive oil to a warm skillet and sauté for a few minutes. it doesn't take long to cook. Add salt pepper and whatever else you like. Sometimes I add a little lemon or garlic.

I steam it with a little olive oil and fresh sea salt and pepper.
The crispy baked asparagus (post 31) sound delicious. I am going to try that.

Roasting is nice, especially with a sprinkle of coarse salt and olive oil, but I love the taste of lightly steamed asparagus, that retains the fresh, grassy flavor.
One thing I do that you may not do, is peel it French-style. I cut off the dry end about an inch or two and then peel down half the stalk to the end, with a sharp paring knife or a paring tool.

I like to roast asparagus with just a little salt, pepper and olive oil. After I take it out of the oven I toss it with gremolata which is a condiment of lemon zest, very finely chopped parsley and garlic. I also add shredded parm cheese and toasted pine nuts or almond slivers. (It's a recipe I downloaded from Ina Garten except she used green beans that she blanched then sautéed in olive oil.) We enjoyed it on the asparagus and I plan to try it on other vegetables as well.

I either sauté in butter with sliced mushrooms or cream of asparagus soup.
I used to eat it raw all the time when I lived in an area where you could go pick it. It's good in salads. It's more of a luxury thing for me now.

My mother always steamed it and tossed with a little butter and seasoning, but I've been doing it the way you posted lately, and I swear hubby and I could each a pound each of it!! ESP with the fresh grated Parmesan on top. Omg, it is TDF.I always roast my asparagus with olive oil, salt and pepper. I love putting some shaved parmesan on top right before serving.

I put a steamer in a 12" frying pan, and lay 'em out flat.

When we don't put them on aluminum foil with a little olive oil on the gas grill. we use 1/4 c water on a microwave pie plate cover 4/5 of the top which leaves an area for steam and microwave 5-7 minutes. Then I pour off the water and season with butter and a little salt and pepper. Great with pesto tossed pasta and fresh grated Parmesan cheese! You could add some sauteed cherry tomato halves.
