This is a tasty fresh vegetable dish ready in 15 minutes. The asparagus stays nice and green when steamed in the microwave or steamer if you prefer. The parmesan gives it a little extra flavor.

This was SO good! I eyeballed the measurements and it was super quick and easy to make. The only change I made was adding a sprinkle of sea salt. This recipe will be going into regular rotation for sure! Read More

This is delicious! I microwaved for 3 minutes only, then broiled for about 5-6 minutes. Subbed olive oil for the butter. Couldn't stop eating these! Read More

Perfect as a veggie side. I chose to add some very thinly sliced filet mignon I had left over and some sliced grape tomatoes on top before placing in the broiler. Made a great one pan main course. Garnish with extra Parma cheese. Thinly sliced cooked chicken would work well; as would any fish or seafood. Read More
