4
If the pie dough is still too dry, add the water, one tablespoon at a time.

Once the dough is the right texture, neither crumbly nor sticky, roll it out on a piece of parchment paper until it is about 12 inches in diameter.
-
6
Place dough, still on the parchment paper, on a baking sheet.

Set aside.

Place the asparagus in a large bowl and add enough water to cover the bottom of the bowl.

Microwave for about 2 minutes (or more, depending on the thickness of the asparagus), until the asparagus is a bit softer than raw but still crisp.
-

Pour the excess water out of the bowl.
-
11
Add the remaining ingredients into the bowl of asparagus and mix well.
-

Pile the asparagus mixture in the middle of the pie crust.

Spread it out evenly, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border of dough around the edge.
-
14
Fold the border of dough up towards the center and around the asparagus mixture (leaving some of the center exposed see photo).
-
15
Seal all folds and cracks, using water to ensure the dough sticks to itself.
