Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 lb Asparagus, fresh spears
3 tb Pine nuts
1/4 c Olive oil
1 tb Lemon juice, fresh
1 Clove garlic, crushed
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Basil, dried whole
1/2 ts Oregano, dried whole
Pepper, freshly ground

Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales from
stalks with knife or vegetable peeler, if desired.
Place spears in a steaming rack over boiling water;
cover and steam 4-5 minutes or until spears are
crisp-tender. Transfer to a serving platter.
Sautee pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat
2-3 minutes, until browned. Set aside.
Combine olive oil and remaining ingredients in a
medium saucepan; stir with a wire whisk to blend. Cook
over medium heat 2-3 minutes or until thoroughly
heated, stirring constantly. Pour over asparagus.
Sprinkle with pine nuts. Let stand to room temperature
before serving.
