A good way to cook the asparagus is in a narrow pan with high sides (and better still) with an intergrated colander. The asparagus can be placed to boil with the tips protruding out of the water, after being tied together with kitchen string. It can also be steamed instead on a basket placed inside a pot & suspended above some water. Once cooked, put them on a plate, cover with a couple of fried eggs (Occhio di Bue cooking style) and cover with some grated parmigiano reggiano.
