I love asparagus, and this version is delicious....I reduced the cooking time because I noticed my asparagus getting too done...my stove cooks really fast. I loved the combination of asparagus and grape tomatoes. I'll add a little garlic next time, because I tend to add it to everything. Thanks for sharing! -
Easy and delicious! The tomatoes and Parmesan added a really nice flavor to the asparagus. Thanks for sharing! -
This was really good asparagus and it had such a pretty presentation. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks! -
Very good and easy to make asparagus -- I used thin asparagus so mine took a little less time. Enjoyed this with salmon -- a great spring-time meal. Thanks for sharing! -
So easy, yet just a perfect way to serve asparagus. Very colorful, too with the red tomatoes. My asparagus spears were fairly thick, and were perfectly cooked at 10 minutes.
