Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb fresh tender asparagus
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup warm milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

Directions:

In a large micro-wave safe glass bowl, heat butter about 50 seconds on high, or until melted.
Whisk in the 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 cup of heated milk.
Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Place in microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes, pausing to whisk thoroughly every 30 seconds.
Season to taste with salt and whisk again.
Set cheese sauce aside.
Bend asparagus until they break at a natural point; discard ends.
Place asparagus spears in a microwavable glass covered dish, with half the spears going one way, and half the spears going the other way.
Add 1/4 cup water to the dish.
Cook, covered, for 6-7 minutes on high, pausing to turn dish every 2 minutes and checking asparagus for doneness.
Reheat sauce for 1 minute on high before adding to asparagus, if necessary (you may not need all the sauce).
