Asparagus Saute


1 Lb asparagus - tough ends removed, cut into 1 inch lengths
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
1/8 Tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

*In a heavy saute pan, over medium low heat; add olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted add asparagus and saute for 3 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and saute for about 3 minutes more. Until asparagus is just tender and bright green. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.

~Note: If you crumble a bit of Feta cheese over this it is even better!
Serves 4
