REVIEWS:

Great flavor and quick and simple. Would easily make a nice side dish for a dinner party.

When a recipe has five stars after so many reviews you know it has to be great. I made this last night and it was great. Try it. It will definitely make its way into your favorites.

I always double the sauce - it's so tasty!

This is a go-to side at our house, and a hit with dinner guests. It's good enough to hold up to the best beef tenderloin.

Add me to the bandwagon on this recipe. I love asparagus, and this is as good an asparagus dish as you'll find.

It was simple with only a handful of ingredients. The result is a light and simple side dish. Y'all enjoy!

When the kids know that I've bought asparagus, this is the way they ask me to prepare it. What more of an endorsement can you ask for?

Wow, this is good! I made it as written and I will make it again...probably a lot! I think the sauce would be good with other things, too. Or maybe I could just eat it plain??

This is our very favorite way to have asparagus. In the summer we grill the asparagus on the barbeque and then drizzle it with the sauce. I guessed at the serving size
