These asparagus are AMAZING! When I first tried the recipe, my dad & fiance hated asparagus... Now they LOVE it! Even at my job, when there's a potluck, i'm required to bring the asparagus! They're so yummy!

This recipe is not only AMAZING, but so simple to make. I've been cooking for 30 years and am embarrassed to admit that I NEVER thought to cut up asparagas the way this recipe calls for. The weirdest thing...guests and family members eat more asparagas now that I'm cutting up the pieces rather than serving them long. To change this recipe up, I usually give a few squeezes of lemon right before I finish cooking the asparagas. It helps brighten up the flavor of the vegetable. But, if I don't have lemon on hand, this recipe stands on its own.

This is my all time favorite recipe for asparagus. The best part is if you have any leftovers (just two of us so we usually do you can use to put in an omelette the next morning. Yum, yum.
