1 pound fresh asparagus
2 T. butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 450°. Rinse and drain the asparagus, then snap off the tough ends where they break naturally. Arrange the spears in a 9x13 inch baking dish in one or two layers. Place the butter in a 1-cup glass measure and microwave, uncovered on high, until melted, about 30 seconds. Drizzle over the asparagus and season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cover the dish snugly with aluminum foil. Bake 15 minutes until crisp-tender, or longer to desired doneness. Serve at once.
