Absolutely delicious! Made as directed except I roasted the asparagus for a deeper flavor.

Fantastic. Takes almost no effort to make and goes great with lots of things, especially the Steaks With Caramel-Brandy Sauce. Just made it as a side to the Steaks With Caramel-Brandy Sauce tonight and my parents and I absolutely adored it. P.S. Toss the goat cheese and pine nuts with the asparagus instead of just topping the asparagus with it, it mixes up and combines the flavors better for an all around better experience.
