Sauteed Asparagus in White Wine Sauce (Lemon-Garlic)

Sauteed Asparagus in White Wine Sauce: 10-minute recipe of asparagus in a spicy, lemony, garlicky and buttery white wine sauce. It’s a perfect side dish for any of your parties. 

Sauteed Asparagus in White Wine Sauce is my favorite Springtime recipe and once you try it, you’ll be a fan too!

Spring has finally arrived in California after an extremely rainy, cloudy, and moody last month, which also means frequent trips to the farmer’s market for the spring bounty.

Now as much as we love getting fresh fruits and vegetables, we also hate wasting them or the money.

But many times due to less consumption or not proper storage, we end up wasting some of it!

Do you know that an average household wastes 1300 pounds of food per year – up to $1500 in waste – Surprised (Me too) But that’s the sad and scary fact !!

So, this year, we decided to hold on to buy any fresh produce unless we finish the last ones at home.

We were also looking at other ways to save on food+money waste and thankfully we found ‘Vacuvita® – One Touch Storage System’. 

The first-of-its-kind vacuum and food storage system or you can call it a modern-day, high-tech, connected bread box.

It stores food in an eye-catching container, the Home Base, and vacuum seal bags to keep it fresher longer (Picture above).

So I could finally visit our farmers market and we bought tons of fresh produce and almost 3 pounds of thin stemmed asparagus, which we love!

Once home, I quickly cleaned them, snapped the hard ones from the bottom, and waited for it to dry.

Once dried, I placed them in one of the large vacuum seal bags and sealed it completely using the vacuum tube connected to the home-base box.

So, the asparagus is completely sealed (no air at all) and I placed it in the freezer for later use during the month.

Also, you don’t have to worry about the quality or color of the produce once sealed.

The moment you open the vacuum-sealed bags, the products come out as fresh as the day you packed them.

Basically, the system sucks out all the air and stops any further deterioration.

Vacuvita® just doesn’t stop there but they also developed an app tailored to its system to keep track of everything you have stored and then send reminders of when it will expire.

You can use the pre-set reminders or set your own – This for me was the Game-Changer in saving food and stretching our dollar further.

Now, coming back to our glorious Sauteed Asparagus in White Wine Sauce.

I decided to make this delicious side dish to accompany this Quick and Skinny Broccoli Kale Pasta Bake.

This combination of creamy pasta with a lemony-buttery-spicy sauteed asparagus is absolute perfection.

Seriously, Weeknight Dinner cannot get easier and tastier than this.

Sauteed Asparagus in White Wine Sauce Ingredients: 

• Thin Asparagus – snap of any hard ends and washed.
• Water
• Butter
• Oil
• Salt and Pepper
• Cherry Tomatoes – for decoration
• Spicy Wine Sauce Ingredients:
• Dry White Wine – or use any white wine
• Butter – use any kind but avoid flavored butter
• Garlic Clove – smashed
• Lemon juice
• Red Chili Flakes
• Salt and Pepper

For our Sauteed Asparagus in White Wine Sauce, you don’t need many ingredients but few basic ones along with a good dry white wine.

What you can also do, is make this wine sauce and keep it in the fridge for later use.

Just unseal the vacuum-packed asparagus and make this dish in less than 10 minutes.

Now, you can definitely make this recipe without adding the spice or red pepper flakes.

But trust me that surprise kick of heat from the peppers in this lemony-buttery sauce adds such a delicious flavor that you’d want more n more of it.

Infact, many of our friends who had been having butter sauteed asparagus, have turned die-hard fans of this spicy white wine sauce with asparagus.

They literally feel offended if I give them plain butter sauce now – talk about spoiling friends/family 😉 !

So to stop food waste, save money and get that piece of mind by having your food/list details on your phone,

I highly recommend you to get Vacuvita. Here are some details on it:

-The Vacuvita app keeps track of your stored food effortlessly (and sends you reminders of when your food is getting ready to expire).

-In addition to storage, you can use your Vacuvita products to marinate, sous vide and more.

Here’s a glimpse of some other things that I sealed in those vacuum bags and container.

Just look at those sealed bags and they are definitely going to stay fresh longer and take up less space storing too.
