Asparagus and Sauce Preparation

Sauté the Asparagus
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the asparagus pieces and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

Create the Cream Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, stirring until the cheese is melted and well combined.
