Made this for just the 2 of us so cut the recipe in half & served it in a smaller casserole dish! Really enjoyed the lemon flavor here, & it was a great way to dress up asparagus as well! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed as a THANK YOU for tagging in PRMR during the recent Tic-Tac-Toe event]
