This recipe is very simple and very delicious. I don’t fix asparagus like most people do. Most will tell you your asparagus needs a bite, a little crispness to it.. not me. I like mine full of flavor and tender. So mine is wilted and fried in a heavy garlic butter and lemon sauce. Enjoy!

3-4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 bunch fresh asparagus
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bunch fresh asparagus
