Preparation steps

1.

Peel the asparagus, and trim off the woody ends. Cut the stalks in half or in thirds. Pace the asparagus peelings in a pan of water and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Drain, and place the asparagus water back into the pan. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of butter, and the sugar. Cook the asparagus for 25 minutes in the boiling water.

2.

Peel and chop the shallot, then sauté until translucent in the remaining butter. Add the white wine, and reduce until the liquid has almost evaporated completely. Add the cream and 4-5 tablespoons of the asparagus cooking liquid. Simmer until thickened. Puree with an immersion blender, mix in the basil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the asparagus, add to the pan with the sauce, and serve.
