Awesome asparagus dish! Very easy to prepare and so very tasty. You can really taste the lemon I added a tablespoon of the juice. Made for PAC spring 08' Thanks Gallopin Gael for posting. -
Very nice, very easy and most importantly, the kids liked it too! -
I was looking for a recipe that used pine nuts, and this one worked out great. The lemon and pine nuts go together very well. Be sure to eat quickly before the asparagus get cold! -
Really delicious and easy. Don't overcook the asparagus, it is so yummy when it is still crunchy. -
This is an excellent way to prepare asparagus. I love the tang of the lemon and depth of flavor of the Parmesan cheese. My husband and I ate a very large bunch for dinner without any leftovers.
