Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
8 oz mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Heat Oil:
Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
Sauté Garlic:

Cook Asparagus:
Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for 4-5 minutes until the asparagus starts to become tender but remains crisp.
