Ingredients:

1 pound of fresh asparagus (medium thickness), trimmed

1/4 cup of water, plus extra as needed

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper

1/3 cup of shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze

Instructions:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and water. Cover the pan quickly and steam until the asparagus can be easily pierced with a knife, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add more water if needed to prevent drying out.

2. Uncover and remove from heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus, then toss to coat. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with cheese. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
