Ingredients

    6 asparagus spears
    Small handful of cherry tomatoes (3-6, depending on size)
    A squeeze of fresh lemon Juice (0.5-1 tsp)

Directions

Slice asparagus into bite size pieces (or cook whole, if preferred), discard tough ends
Use a non stick pan over medium-high heat
Coat lightly with olive oil or cooking spray (very lightly)
Toss asparagus stems into pan, let sizzle for about 1 minute and then add in the heads (the heads cook faster)
Sautee until bright green, or about 1-3 minutes
Add tomatoes
As tomatoes heat up, poke with a fork or smash with a spoon so they 'burst'
Can be cooked bright and al dente (just barely warmed) or to a darker color with a soft texture, but usually only just a couple minutes.
Just before removing from the pan, squeeze a little lemon over top (think of this like salt - use sparingly)
Serve hot!!
