This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I would recommend using a simpler recipe next time.

The asparagus was a bit overcooked for my liking. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less pancetta next time.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The pancetta and sesame seeds really helped to improve the flavor.

This is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had a bunch of asparagus that was starting to wilt and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The asparagus is slightly sweet, the pancetta is salty and smoky, and the sesame seeds add a nutty flavor.
