• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ onion, chopped
• ¼ cup slivered almonds
• ½ pound fresh asparagus, trimmed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat; place asparagus spears in the skillet.

Step 2

When asparagus starts to sizzle slightly, drizzle in the hot pepper sauce and add almonds, Italian seasoning, and onion to the skillet.

Step 3

Move the asparagus around in the skillet with a spoon to expose almonds and onion to the butter and oil; cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and season with salt and black pepper.
