A basic vegetable peeler is all it takes to experience asparagus in a whole new way. This ordinary kitchen tool easily transforms the spears into thin. pasta-like ribbons that cook up in 2 minutes. Like pasta, they are delicious simply seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.

Trim off and discard the tough woody ends of the asparagus.
Cut off the asparagus tips and set aside. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the asparagus stalks into long, thin strips.
Thinly slice the garlic, finely zest and juice the lemon half, and grate the cheese.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, 1-2 minutes.
Add the shaved asparagus stalks and the tips and cook, gently stirring, until slightly wilted, 1-2 minutes.
Remove from the hear and stir in the lemon zest and juice, cheese, salt and pepper. Plate and serve.
