Gather all ingredients.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine, and simmer for 2 minutes.

Stir in the red pepper flakes, butter, and asparagus; cook until the asparagus is just tender, about 3 minutes.
