Fast, easy, and oh so tasty. I just clean and trim it, toss it in a dish with some Zesty Italian dressing, cover with plastic wrap, and nuke to al dente. Fast, easy, and oh so tasty.

It usually ends up a little stringy, but not too bad. It's better than no asparagus, but not nearly as good as fresh! ..rummages for Amy's e-mail address to forward her your comment. ;) The frozen stuff is… ok.

I've not tried it... I go for the fresh but often the fresh stuff available at the grocery is really thick - like small trees. I like 'sparagus like I like my womens - soft, skinny and less than $1 a pound. How do you like the frozen stuff?

Tiff likes it that way for some weird reason, though. I have a hunch that broiling+olive oil would result in about the same yumminess as my technique. ;) I agree..

I usually broil it, throwing in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. mush == bad! even the color goes bad if you cook it too long. Sweet. I usually broil it, throwing in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
