This was fast and easy to make so I will give it 4 stars, but it was a little bland. I put a little extra bouillon in it to give it more taste. It would probably taste good with rice or small pasta in it.

Excellent! This recipe is definitely one that I'll be making again! The basil complements the asparagus beautifully. I have an electric oven, so very often I find that I need to have everything cook a few minutes longer. With this recipe, that wasn't the case; it turned out just perfectly! I love garlic, so I added a few extra cloves with the potatoes, then just added the final 2 cloves with the asparagus, as directed. Thanks so much for posting this one -- it's a keeper in my house! :)
