The trick to perfecting this recipe is to have just enough water to cook the asparagus spears sufficiently before it all evaporates. If there is too much water, the asparagus can be overcooked before the sauce is reduced sufficiently. The asparagus may not be tender enough. When cooked, serve the asparagus immediately.

Recipe's Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
salt and freshly ground pepper

350 g to 450 fat asparagus spears, trimmed and peeled
