This is the asparagus recipe I made for the pasta party. I actually remade it last night since I didn’t get a picture at the party and it is so good that I had to post it. I made 1/2 of the recipe in this picture. For the party, I used 2 big bunches of asparagus. I don’t think there was any left at the end of the night.
This recipe would be great for Easter or any holiday.
Tuscan Asparagus
1 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus, trimmed

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
