I've only made asparagus a few times and this has been the best recipe so far! I cut down on the parmesean cheese about half and added some fresh lemon juice. It was very yummy! will be making this again!

This was awesome! We absolutely loved the mixture of parmesan, butter and lemon pepper. My husband said he could eat this every night if I made it. I will definately be making this again and again! Thanks.

This was the most amazing asparagus I have ever had! The lemon pepper and parmesan were wonderful together. I added much more parmesan. My sister even loved it, and she has never been a fan of asparagus. This goes especially well with summer dishes.
