I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've used it to make steamed asparagus with lemon and butter, garlic and olive oil, and even Parmesan cheese.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always been a hit. However, I've noticed that the cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the asparagus.

This recipe is a waste of time. The asparagus was bland and the lemon-butter sauce was too oily.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my asparagus turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
