How to cook asparagus in a pan:<\/i><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Heat a large, wide-based pan with a matching lid over a high heat<\/li>\n
  2. Once hot add the asparagus with a pinch of salt<\/li>\n
  3. Add a splash of water to the pan and cover with a lid<\/li>\n
  4. Cook for 3 min or until the asparagus is tender<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
