Delishimo ! 5 excellent stars! I used fresh baby asparagus tips and the only changes I made to the recipes were: I toasted my cashews gently in a dry non stick fry pan before adding them to the asparagus, and I upped the marjoram to a heaped tablespoon... don't leave that out BTW, the marjoram gives this recipe a very special flavour that enhances the cashews and asparagus very well. I served this as a side dish and it was gobbled up! Please see my rating system: 5 excellent stars for a simple, easy, but very tasty AND visually pleasing recipe that delights both the eye and the taste buds. Thanks!

Syd, your recipe is a dream! Soooo easy and terrific delicious!<br/>I followed you direction and I really only steamed (not boiled) the asparagus. The best way to prepare asparagus for sure.<br/>The sauce is done in a few minutes. The cashew I used were not only salted but spiced as well; I belive it was most paprika and pepper.<br/>We served this with boilded potatoes with some chives.<br/>Thanks a lot for posting this recipe!
