Prepare the Vegetables:

Heat the Pan:

Sauté the Vegetables:

- Add the asparagus pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 4-5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
Season and Finish:
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add a tablespoon of lemon juice for a bright, tangy flavor.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if using, and stir to combine.
Serve:
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed asparagus and mushrooms to a serving dish.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. Serve warm as a side dish.
