Asparagus with Blue Cheese Sauce
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
YIELD: 2 servings.
MY SISTER introduced me to this recipe several years ago because she knows I love blue cheese.
This dish is a simple way to dress up asparagus, giving it a tangy taste altogether different from the usual cheese sauce. I make it every spring when we have fresh homegrown asparagus. —Leona Luecking
