Tasty, easy to prepare and healthy! The dish has some nice contrasts - the texture of the asparagus compared to the snap of the snow peas - which makes the dish interesting. Everyone we have ever served this dish to has asked for the recipe. Great recipe :!

I have to admit.. I am shocked how tasty this vegetable side dish came out. I am not a spicy hot fan but I really liked the two pepper combo. I added a splash of fresh lemon juice, dried cilantro and a little white wine in the pan. My vegetables took closer to 10 minutes to cook. So good!

I was looking for a sauteed asparagus recipe (rather than grilled or roasted and after 5-6 minutes the asparagus was the perfect consistency! Ill be using this recipe from now on to cook asparagus. This time I just added two cloves of minced garlic to the olive oil. I'm excited to try adding snap peas and crushed red pepper next time. Very versatile.
