Plunge the spears into the boiling water, return to a boil, and cook until the spears are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 2 to 6 minutes, depending on their thickness. Do not overcook. Rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking, then drain on a clean kitchen towel. 2.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
