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.
