Directions
1.
Snap off and discard the woody base from each asparagus spear. Place asparagus in a shallow pan and coat lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2.
For a charcoal grill, grill asparagus spears on the greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning occasionally. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place asparagus on greased grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
3.
Transfer asparagus to a serving platter. Coat lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle with goat cheese and pine nuts.
