Garlic and Red Pepper Flake Sautéed Asparagus

Here is a quick and simple preparation for asparagus that's so good. The key to this dish is to cook the asparagus half way and then add the garlic and red pepper. By doing this the garlic and pepper won't over cook and become bitter or burnt.

Ingredients:

1 bunch asparagus

4 garlic cloves

Pinch red pepper flakes

Preparation:
Cut the asparagus at an angle into 3/4" pieces. Heat a 10" sauté pan to medium high and when hot add 1 table spoon avocado oil. The reason I like avocado oil is that it's every bit as healthy for you as olive oil, but it has a higher burn temp so it works better for  sautéing.

Cook the asparagus for 5 minutes or until the asparagus starts to soften. Add the crushed garlic and red pepper. Sauté another couple of minute and serve.
