Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs fresh asparagus, washed and tough ends trimmed off
2 -3 tbsp unsalted butter ( no margarine!!)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp sugar

Directions:

Cook asparagus in 1 salted boiling water for about 5-7 minutes to crisp-tender, or until desired tenderness is reached. (Or microwave the asparagus to desired doneness.) Drain asparagus and return to hot saucepan and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat butter over med-high heat. After about 3 minutes, it should start to foam; stir constantly and add garlic, salt and pepper. Keep stirring. When foaming stops, butter should be browned and kind of grainy looking.
Remove from heat; stir in sugar.
Pour browned butter mixture over cooked asparagus. Serve.
