I'll add another 5 stars to the growing list of reviews. I did make a change in the recipe as I was unable to find fresh asparagus. I subbed fresh steamed broccoli which made a delightful addition. This is a very simple recipe which can be made last minute for an any-day appeal. Thanks so much for sharing this, Gerry. -
This was a good dish! Unforturnately I didn't have mushrooms on hand.. but it was still good! Thank you Gerry:) -
This was a delicious recipe - got the "You can make this again anytime" review from the family. I found this recipe on another site and it called for twice the amount of butter and oil. I halved it, just like this recipe has done and it was perfect! -
Very easy recipe,tasty too. -
Loved the fresh flavors in this simple dish. Rather than boiling or steaming the asparagus, I sautéed it over medium-high heat with the garlic, then proceeded with the rest of the instructions. I started heating the water while I was prepping the rest of the ingredients, so as soon as it started boiling, I tossed the noodles in and started sautéeing the asparagus--by the time the noodles were cooked, the rest of the ingredients were ready to be tossed with them. I appreciated that it came together so quickly. I halved the recipe, and it served three of us nicely. Enjoyed it--thanks for posting!
