Easy to make and a great substitute for the real thing when you don't have the time. The taste is wonderful and I would definately make again.

Super easy and VERY good. My children loved it and they hate asparagus. Since I got the recipe 2 weeks ago, I have made it 4 times!

This recipe is perfect espically if you want a light lunch. I didn't have the asparagus so I added three cups frozen mixed vegies! It was great!!

This was WONDERFUL! I made it for my family last night and my son even ate it. He hates anything with the color green. This is the first time I have tried asparagus and I love it.
