Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Rinse the asparagus and sugar snap peas under cold water. Trim the ends of the asparagus and cut them into 2-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Asparagus and Peas

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the sugar snap peas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until both are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain again.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine and Season

    Add the blanched asparagus and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and add lemon juice and Parmesan cheese, tossing to combine.
