Trim the tips of asparagus about one inch.

Place in boiling water for 6 to 7 minutes

Remove and place in bowl of ice to stop cooking and maintain green color. If you want to serve asparagus warm you can heat it in oven a few minutes before serving.

Make Gremolata

zest lemons

mince garlic

chop parsely

You can do chop garlic, lemon zest and parsley at same time if you want to.That's what I do.

Remove asparagus from ice bath. Toss with half of gremolata. Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve by adding remaining gremolata.

This can be served at room temperature or warmed up in oven right before serving.
