To prepare this creamy asparagus delight, you will need:

Instructions:

• Start by preparing the asparagus. Rinse it under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Trim off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, usually about 1-2 inches from the bottom.

• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir continuously for about 2 minutes, until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
• Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.

• While the sauce is simmering, it’s time to cook the asparagus. Fill a separate pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water. Carefully place the trimmed asparagus into the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
• Once the asparagus is cooked, drain it and pat it dry gently with a paper towel. Cut the asparagus spears into bite-sized pieces, or you can leave them whole if you prefer.
• Now it’s time to combine the sauce and asparagus. Add the cooked asparagus to the saucepan and gently fold it into the creamy mixture until well-coated. Allow it to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the asparagus is heated through.

• Season the creamed asparagus with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Remember to taste it as you go, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
• Once everything is well combined and seasoned, remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the creamed asparagus to a serving dish. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
