Ingredients
 

  • 3 tablespoon parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoon shredded or grated parmesan
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2-3 tablespoon pine nuts, almonds or walnuts
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb asparagus trimmed

Instructions

  • In a small skillet on medium heat, toast nuts until lightly browned then set aside. 
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the asparagus for 1-2 minutes or until tender but crisp. Transfer the asparagus to an ice water bath to stop them from cooking. Drain, pat dry, and set aside. 
  • For the gremolata topping, combine parsley, lemon zest, parmesan, garlic, and the toasted nuts in a small bowl. 
  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet on medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Remove to a serving bowl and top or toss with gremolata.
