I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The sun-dried tomatoes and lemon-butter sauce helped to balance out the bitterness of the asparagus.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I added some chopped bacon to the sauce and it was delicious.

The asparagus was overcooked and the sun-dried tomatoes were too chewy. The lemon-butter sauce was also a bit too lemony for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked to see more seasoning in the sauce.
