    |   Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales from stalks with  knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. Place spears in a steaming  rack over boiling water; cover and steam 4-5 minutes or until spears  are crisp-tender. Transfer to a serving platter.  Sautee pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat 2-3 minutes,  until browned. Set aside.  Combine olive oil and remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan; stir  with a wire whisk to blend. Cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes or until  thoroughly heated, stirring constantly. Pour over asparagus. Sprinkle  with pine nuts. Let stand to room temperature before serving. Your Asparagus With Toasted Pine Nuts & Lemon Vinaigrette is ready. Happy cooking! Related recipes: Vegetables, Low-cal
