Directions
Over medium heat in a large, heavy pot, heat up the butter until melted. Add and cook the garlic for a minute, until fragrant. Add in the asparagus and then, season with pepper and salt to taste, continue to cook the ingredients for 5 minutes, until turn golden. Add broth, give the ingredients a good stir. Cover & let simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until asparagus is tender but still somewhat green.
