Preheat oven to 450°. Place the asparagus on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and add salt and pepper. Using tongs or your hands mix well to coat all the asparagus and spread them on the baking sheet so they are not overlapping. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes.

While they are roasting place the pine nuts in a small skillet and toast over medium low heat until browned a little. Remove the asparagus from the oven and place on a serving tray. Sprinkle with the cheese and pine nuts to serve.
