This is what we had for dinner tonight and it was delicious!

We didn't add any ham and added some spinach at the very end because I had some to get rid of.  I used a single can of diced tomatoes in sauce instead of the 4 fresh tomatoes.  I also left the salt out, and we added the pepper at the table - I love freshly cracked black pepper!

My husband and I both liked it, which is rare.  Next time I make it the only thing I'll change is using a lot less butter (I think I'll just use 3 T).  This is a great way to enjoy some asparagus that is so plentiful these days!

I've never met an asparagus dish I didn't like.

Asparagus is one of my favs - sounds like you had a great dinner tonite. I had so much work in the garden ad it already is getting hot so I was powered out.

We chose to eat at our neighborhood Mexican place - they have a Burrito grande that is out of this world - with fresh cilantro and a great salsa. I had mine with pulled pork filling - delish..
The Margarita wasn't bad either.

It was a great dinner! We ate it on the back porch while listening to the frogs and smelling the flowers - a perfect evening!

This recipe sounds delicious, April! This is my favorite kind of meal. The recipe's going right in my file and I'm going to make it next week! Many thanks!

Thanks! I really like "all-inclusive" meals too Marianne - I hate trying to come up with side dishes!

Mmmm, this sounds soooo good. Jennifer doesn't care for asparagus though. Maybe I'll just make it and portion it up for the freezer for work lunches. Thanks for sharing!

This sounds so good. I love asparagus and have it in the house almost every week. Always trying to figure out new and great ways to use it. This sounds very good.

sounds good...now, me, I would have switched out your reduced butter for olive oil with a little salt...I have fat issues.
April H. Apr 13, 2008, 10:00am EDT
That sounds good too - I love olive oil!
