For my friend Shannon:)
About 1lb. fresh asparagus
1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
Shredded Parmesan (not the grated powdery kind)
Salt & Pepper
Wash asparagus, breaking of woody bases. Place in a 9x13 dish. Drizzle olive oil onto asparagus, and toss to coat. Arrange asparagus in a single layer in dish. Salt and pepper to taste.
Bake @ 400 for 15 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Eat it up!

Note: Over the years I have changed this recipe a bit from the original. The original recipe called for 2lbs., but it comes in 1/2-1lb. bunches, which is just right for my family.
I have fixed this recipe for a long time, but it was probably 2 or 3 years before Ben actually tried it. He was convinced that since it was green it was evil. Thankfully my persistence paid off.
Also, my aunt tells me that she has had brussel sprouts prepared this way, and she couldn't believe how much better they were.
