Simple, Not Mushy, Asparagus image

I have tried a variety of asparagus recipes over the years--sauteed, grilled, baked--and I have always been disappointed in the results. This is a simple boiled recipe that always gives me a nicely textured and tasty asparagus.

I would give this recipe a 3.5 out of 5 stars. The asparagus was cooked well, but the lemon butter sauce was a bit too rich for my taste.

The asparagus was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the lemon butter sauce was delicious.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better with some additional seasoning.

Simple and delicious. I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but this recipe changed my mind. The lemon and garlic butter sauce was amazing.

Yum! This recipe is a winner. I liked that the asparagus wasn't mushy at all. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes and a salad, and it was a perfect meal.
