:('s Note:

Such a wonderful and simple presentation of one of spring's best vegetables with the irresistible flavor of garlic. So easy to make- (but no one has to know how easy it is!!!)

Bought enough asparagus for the family meal.....used your recipe....ate the whole batch myself. I'm so ashamed.

These went great with our roast and garlic mashed potatoes! We loved the addition of the cheese. Really pumps up the flavor!
