recipe reviews for:

Asparagus with Tomatoes

“This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.”

Very Yummy, I actually turned this this recipe in to shrimp pasta dish.To the basic rec pie I changed a few things -3 Tablespoons of Olive oil -5 cloves of garlic - white wine to it towards to end to taste - other herbs that I don't remember, pinch here and there. - and obviously shrimp and egg noodle pasta. I cooked everything as directed, added some shrimp in at about the same time I added the asparagus. I tossed with egg noodle (what I had on hand). It came out lovely... the tomatoes blended well with the olive oil and made a tasty sauce. Its something I will certainly make again!

Fixed this last night, in between tornado warnings, and everyone agreed it was great(didn't leave a single bite in the dish). Flavors mingled nicely with none overpowering. Only change I made was in amount of EVOO--I reduced it a little. Served along with roasted new potatoes and baked ham for a very Springtime meal.

I used sun dried tomato because my guy doesn't like fresh tomato. Also used fresh basil - it was really good!

Pretty good! Use 1 1/2 tblspn of oil, 3 tsp garlic, and pretty heavy on the pepper.

this is an excellent, healthy recipe. I used lemon pepper to flavor instead of salt.

This is a great recipe! I used fresh green beans instead and fresh garlic and a bit of onion powder and dry parsley flakes. I finally found a good side dish that is not fattening.

This recipe was great. Easy, healthy and delicious. I used cherry tomatoes and added a splash of white balsamic vinegar. YUM. My mother in law makes the same thing with green beans, also very good. I will make this again soon! Thanks.

This was the first year I had to cook for a large family gathering. It was Thanksgiving this year. I did both asparagus and green beans. I brought the green beans to my aunt's house for dinner and everyone was asking who made them. They loved them!!! I made the asparagus a few days later at home for my boyfriend and I only because it's so much more expensive. It was great with both vegetables! I did add extra tomato and garlic to the recipe just because I wanted to make a more dramatic flavor, but I loved loved loved this dish! Yum!
