A nice alternative to my normal garlic saut?ed asparagus! I made as written and was wishing we had some bacon so that I could have tried the suggestion in step 9. Thanks for the tasty post.

We loved this! Two of my favorite ingredients - parsley and garlic. Next time, I'll add more garlic and more parsley. Delicious!

This is the only way I cook asparagus. But I just put it on the foil with what you use and mix it up. But I bet cooking it frist would be better. going to try that. Thanks Shadows
