Quick! Easy! And delicious! I just add extra garlic (like I do with ALL recipes) because my family and I really love garlic!

Made this once and it was delicious.  Going to make it again tonight for a group!

Very easy and delicious! Personally, I will probably skip the Italian seasoning next time. A little too overpowering for my taste. But that's me!

Totally Making this tonight! Ty so much 💓

Best asparagus recipe ever!!!

I double it and add extra garlic, some olive oil and shredded chicken that I cooked in my crockpot and it makes the perfect meal for a family of 4. I served it a side of toast or a baked potatoes.

According to my husband, best I have ever cooked. This recipe will be the only one we use. Vibrant color, not mushy as I tend to do.  Elegant in appearance.  Thank you

Yum. I had some really thin asparagus that I was afraid to roast, so made this sauteed asparagus dish. Came out great. Thanks for sharing.

Very good,  fast and easy. Even the picky people in my family asked  for seconds!

I replaced parsley with a squeeze of lemon juice.  Yum

Simple delicious recipe.  I particularly like the idea of cutting up the asparagus.  This is a keeper recipe for me. Thanks for sharing it!
