Simple, quick, and delicious!
My 11 year old son and I prepared this recipe along with several others to sample how we best liked asparagus and this one was the easiest, quickest, and quite tasty. It will definitely be one to keep for future use - especially when time or lack of additional ingredients is an issue.
