Heat olive oil in a saute pan with a clear lid over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
Stir in asparagus and increase heat to medium-high.
Add 2 tablespoons water, cover, and steam one minute, or until asparagus is bright green and just tender.
Remove from heat, stir once more and then sprinkle Asiago over the top.
Replace the lid to melt the cheese and keep dish warm until serving.
Notes
To make this dish extra-special, saute 1⁄3 cup fresh breadcrumbs of your choice with a tablespoon of olive oil until they’re golden brown and crispy. Mix into the asparagus just before step 5.
