Serving

1 tbsp unsalted butter
4 oz shallots, peeled and quartered
1 -2 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
2 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus , tough ends removed and cut into 3/4 inch pieces

Melt butter in a 4-quart saucepan over medium low heat.

Return to pot if necessary.
Add salt, pepper and basil.
Stir in cream.
