Asparagus Casserole:

3 (10-ounce) packages frozen asparagus, thawed and well drained*
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup refrigerated shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
1/8 teaspoon salt

Arrange asparagus in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually add milk; cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and salt, and pour over asparagus.

Stir together remaining 1/4 cup cheese, breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and paprika; sprinkle evenly over casserole.

Answer 3

I never measure anything so I'll try my best to tell you this recipe. I say just make everything proportionate to how you want it to taste.
In a pan, saute purple onion, asparagus, yellow squash and ham(pre-cooked is best) in a little olive oil. When everything is almost cooked, add a little bit of orange juice (just enough to simmer for about 5 min). Serve with Jasmine Rice. I guess that is kind of like a tropical stir fry. I don't like squash or asparagus but I make it for my BF and he loves it.

Answer 4

I like to make asparagus omelets. I add a tsp of feta cheese, a sprinkle of parmesan chees,fresh basil, dry Italian herbs,x virg olive oil and cooked Uncle Bens wild rice ( if I have that on hand).

Answer 5

Here you go. Simple and terrific.

Throw the stalks into a bowl with some olive oil, kosher salt and crushed black pepper. Flip around so the stalks are coated pretty evenly and thoroughly. Throw those babies on the grill and roll so all sides get cooked. Maybe 10 minutes total.

They are really good that way.

Answer 7

I usually cook asparagus with butter and garlic and put it in a bowl with cooked rigatooni and melted butter(mixed in) depending on what kind of veggies you like, add as many as desired but i put in steamed tomatos and peppers.
