1½ lbs. fresh or frozen asparagus
1 tbsp. lemon juice
3 tbsp. grated nonfat Parmesan cheese
¼ to ½ tsp. lemon pepper

 

Spray microwave-safe dish with cooking spray. Snap off ends of fresh asparagus and place in dish. Drizzle asparagus with lemon juice; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and lemon pepper. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving one corner slightly opened. Microwave fresh asparagus on High 10 to 15 minutes, until crisp-tender. For best results, turn dish every 5 minutes unless microwave has rotating dish. This dish can be prepared, refrigerated and reheated in microwave 1 to 2 minutes until heated through. If using frozen asparagus, do not assemble until ready to heat.
