I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out nothing like the picture. It was a big disappointment.

The asparagus was overcooked and the couscous was mushy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but this dish was surprisingly good. The parmesan cheese really helped to balance out the flavor of the asparagus.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and it was delicious.
