   Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales from stalks with

   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.
