Divine Asparagus

I've been thinking food is a big part of my life that's under-represented here, so here's a recipe I threw together and that I love.

Ingredients

1 bunch Asparagus, prepped and cut into bite size pieces
3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 large or 6 small cloves of garlic
a sprinkle of pepper flakes to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Half a lemon
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
(12 cherry tomatoes)optional
(1/2 lb fettucini)optional

Instructions

1. Blanch Asparagus pieces in boiling water for 2 minutes.
2. Heat Olive Oil in pan and add minced garlic cloves and pepper flakes.
3. Add in the blanched Asparagus. Cook until warmed and appropriately tender. (Add halved cherry tomatoes and cooked fettucine at this point if you're adding them).
4. Remove from heat. Spritz with Lemon. Sprinkle with Cheese.
5. Try not to eat it all before your guests get some. :)
