The veggie cooks just perfectly if you add it towards the end of cooking and is a great partner with the creaminess of the parmesan.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564712224280159335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456801569527195794.post-66701986203342834112009-05-04T14:34:00.000-07:002009-05-04T14:34:00.000-07:00I think asparagus is one of my favorite green vegg...I think asparagus is one of my favorite green veggies :) I am never that adventerous with it, though.
