Sautéed Garlic Asparagus

You know spring is around the corner when tender young asparagus spears start popping up in the produce section of your grocery store!

When they are thick woody ones snapping the ends off usually means losing 2 or 3 inches off the stalk. I barely lost an inch off these ones!

1 lb asparagus
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper 

Once you wash and trim the asparagus, cut them in half.
In a large skillet heat olive oil and add minced garlic. Toss until fragrant, probably less than 1 minute then add the asparagus. Sauté 5 minutes and add salt and pepper to taste.
