Laura's Notes:
I never liked Asparagus growing up. It was always overcooked. I talked with a friend who is a chef and he gave me some helpful tips. Ever since I created this recipe with my own seasonings, I love it. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Directions
Blanche the asparagus in salted rapidly boiling water for 1 minute, and then shock them in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Then when ready to serve sauté them quickly in a screaming hot sauté pan with half a tablespoon each of extra virgin olive oil & butter, freshly chopped thyme, rosemary, garlic, sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste!

Overcooking vegetables is a common mistake that people make, and it takes all the flavor out and destroys the texture. I use to overcook broccoli until it was almost a dark and wilted consistency and then I got a steamer...Miracles never cease! I love broccoli and asparagus now as well....
