A very yummy way to cook asparagus. The fact that it is very easy to prepare is a definate plus. The lemon adds an interesting taste and the parmesan gets crunchy for added demension. I served it with grilled chicken and roasted new potatoes.

Excellent! I even made it lower fat and calories by spraying with butter flavored Pam! Even my husband liked! I used a little Kosher salt instead of table salt and it gave it a nice texture. Thanks :)
