Asparagus is delicious prepared simply. Place trimmed stalks on a cookie sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and broil or grill for 5 - 10 minutes. Don't overcook! You can squeeze a little lemon on them at the end, or sprinkle with some gorganzola cheese.
 
i frequently grill them same as above but i add garlic to the salt and pepper.
also my mother used to steam them but i never likeed it that way so i didnt learn the recipe
 
1 pound grilled asparagus
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, plus chopped for garnish
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons pine nuts
3/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup, plus 4 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano
1 pound fontina cheese, thinly sliced
1 large prepared pizza shell (recommended: Boboli)
Directions
Heat grill to high

Combine the asparagus, basil, garlic and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse a few times to coarsely chop. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and process until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper and transfer the pesto to a bowl. Stir in the Pecorino Romano.

Place pizza shell on the grill. Grill until slightly crisp, about 1 minute. Remove the shells and spread each with the pesto. Top with the fontina, return to the grill, close the cover and continue cooking until the cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with the remaining Romano cheese and chopped fresh basil. Slice each flatbread into bite-sized pieces.
