  • Choose fresh, vibrant asparagus spears for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a more pronounced asparagus flavor, use half vegetable broth and half asparagus water when making the sauce.
  • For a cheesy, gooey casserole, sprinkle some grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese over the top before baking.
  • For a crispy, browned topping, broil the casserole for a few minutes before serving.
