Made this for my neighbors as requested by them~this was devoured by everyone, and although simple, tasted 5 star. The lemon balanced out the flavor of the asparagus, and was so tasty. I added a small tablespoon of butter, and decreased the olive oil to 1 tablespoon, as this really brought out of the flavor of the two basic ingredients ~ asparagus and lemon. This has already been requested again for the rotation. Thanks, Bev~
