Made this for Spring PAC 2012 twice! YUMMY. I followed the instructions only like cathsaff I added a little water to let the asparagus steam for a minute. Both times there was none left. Thank you for submitting a delicious dish and one that is going into my Favorites of 2012.

A super simple, delicious side dish. I whipped it up one night, but plan to make it for company. Its that good! After cooking a few minutes, I added a little water and covered the pan to steam the asparagus a bit. Then poured off any water that didn't cook off. I could eat it as a main dish, too!
