Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus pieces and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green and just tender when pierced with a knife but still with a slight snap. Drain through a colander and immediately transfer to a large bowl of ice water for 2 minutes to stop the cooking, then drain well and pat dry.
