• In a blender, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic clove, onion and softened cream cheese together until blended.
• Add the asparagus and pulse a few times to mix that in. We actually really blended it in, just because I love the green color.

• Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbly and the top is slightly browned.
