I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The peas and lemon-herb sauce helped to balance out the bitterness of the asparagus.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I think I would look for a simpler recipe next time.

The asparagus was a bit tough, even though I followed the cooking instructions carefully. I think I would try roasting the asparagus next time.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some more seasoning.
