love this quick and easy
Because we are under the social distancing, our 11 yo son is helping make our supper meals (and is doing a great job). I had 2 bunches of fresh asparagus in the fridge and told him to find a recipe to use for supper tonight. He came across your roasted asparagus recipe. We made it tonight and WOW, what a hit. The freshly squeezed lemon juice and freshly grated parmesan cheese are a must. He called dibs on the leftovers! Thank you for this simple, but fu of flavor recipe!
That’s the sweetest feedback ever. I love that your son is helping with meals during this time!
