Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs thin asparagus, ends trimmed
2 teaspoons olive oil
salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
30 sage leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 shredded lemon, zest of
parmigiano-reggiano cheese, for shaving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the spears are just tender when pierced with a knife.
  • In a small skillet, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the sage leaves and cook, stirring often, until the butter is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • Transfer the asparagus to a warmed platter and spoon the sage-lemon butter on top. Garnish with the lemon zest, top with shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and serve.
