Okay, so I'd never really eaten asparagus before last year when we got it in our CSA, and it still took a couple of times for me to start appreciating it. But when I saw it for sale this last week, I decided to go ahead and get some 'cause I remember it being pretty good. I decided to use it in this recipe instead of the green beans, and I left out the ham and yummy! I just lightly sauteed the asparagus and then removed it from the pan before I made up the sauce, returning it to the pan at the end. So if you want to try asparagus but don't know a good recipe - might I suggest that one?

I LOVE asparagus! Like you, I had to discover it later in life. But it was love at first bite. My favorite preparation is to get the nice skinny asparagus, cut off and discard the woody ends, boil the spears in about an inch of water for 2 minutes, drain the water, saute with a little butter and 1-2 tsp of sugar for another minute or so, and serve. It's not too heavy and really brings out the sweetness in the asparagus.
