Steps:
- Fill medium sized pot with water, add a generous amount of salt (as if you were salting the water for pasta) and bring to a boil.
- Be sure asparagus is clean, then break off the end of one piece to see where the woody stalk starts.
- Trim the other asparagus pieces to that size, then cut asparagus on the diagonal into pieces about 2 inches long.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the asparagus and cook 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Don't overcook, use a timer!
- When asparagus is lightly cooked but still fairly crisp, drain it into a colander placed in the sink.
- When the water has drained, put the hot asparagus into a bowl; add the pesto, and let it melt for a minute or two.
- Then toss the asparagus with the pesto and serve immediately.

PESTO CHICKEN & ASPARAGUS
With only five ingredients I can put a beautiful meal on the table for family or guests in very little time. I use store-bought pesto, which makes preparation quick and easy. This is a one-skillet dish, and it's also the only way I can get my 3-year-old son to eat asparagus. -Brooke Icenhour, Easley, South Carolina

EASIEST PESTO MAYONNAISE
OK, I know that nutritionally, mayonnaise isn't good for me, but I love it! Especially flavored mayonnaises (recipe#311767, recipe#311769, recipe#309836). This is great on sandwiches in place of regular mayonnaise. Or use it as a topping for chicken sandwiches, burgers, or recipe#308538

BASIL PESTO MAYONNAISE
This is far too easy to be so good! Try this on any sandwich - grilled paninis, wraps, even grilled cheese! Terrific on chicken, just spread on chicken on bake. How about a dip?! I could go on.... Enjoy!
