This might be one of my favorite dishes to date. I never knew I liked asparagus until this dish came along. After making this dish I went and bought a HUGE amound of it at Sam's to steam for side dishes during the week. Not only is this dish completely delicious and simple to make, but it's fairly healthy as well! I actually couldn't remember the recipe or find it when I went to make it - so I can tell you from experience that this works however you want it to work! :) Hope you enjoy!
