BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
Roasted asparagus is a simple and delicious side that goes with almost any main dish. While a pile of roasted asparagus would be a welcome addition to any weeknight dinner or casual meal, sometimes you need something a little more dressed up, so our test kitchen created a company-worthy version that's just as easy and quick to prepare.Bacon not only adds smoky, savory, salty flavor, you can use it to wrap a few asparagus spears together into a cute little bundle. Use your favorite brand of thick-cut bacon (our test kitchen loves Wright brand bacon) and cut each strip in half crosswise to make them the right length for wrapping. We found that three spears of asparagus seem to be just the right amount to make a small bundle, but this can vary depending on the size of your spears. If they are on the very thin side, wrap four to five spears. If they are very thick, you may only want to wrap two. Use your best judgment and make sure the bacon is securely wrapped all the way around the asparagus. Roast the asparagus until it is tender and the bacon is cooked through, then remove from the oven and serve immediately.

BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
While asparagus season is here, keep this recipe near. It's a pretty and impressive side perfect for brunch or dinner-maybe alongside a steak! And it's a godsend when entertaining, since it's made with only five ingredients, a single pan and the simplest of techniques. The trick is wrapping bundles of asparagus, instead of individual stalks. As the bundles bake, the bacon drippings infuse the stalks with smoky flavor and transform this sometimes-woody vegetable into a silky smooth and meltingly tender masterpiece which, in our experience, no one can resist!

CREAMED ASPARAGUS ON TOAST
My mom made this when I was a kid. My wife makes it for me often. It's easy and delicious. I am not a big fan of asparagus prepared any other way. I like to pour over one slice of toast, add another on top, and then pour more over it.
