Asparagus with Blue Cheese Sauce image

MY SISTER introduced me to this recipe several years ago because she knows I love blue cheese. This dish is a simple way to dress up asparagus, giving it a tangy taste altogether different from the usual cheese sauce. I make it every spring when we have fresh homegrown asparagus. -Leona Luecking West Burlington, Iowa

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The blue cheese sauce was very heavy and the asparagus was overcooked.
