Simple is best where asparagus is concerned and this simple recipe brought out the best in ours. The only tiny alteration I made was to use a beautiful parmesan infused olive oil which complimented the dish really well. Thanks for posting.

Simple and delicious pretty much says it all. Instead of drizzling with olive oil, I used a mister and lightly misted the asparagus. This will definately be a repeat.

So simple and so delicious! I made 1-1/2 lbs. of asparagus for my husband and myself and there were no leftovers!
