This asparagus with lemon broth was delicious! I used fresh asparagus from my garden and it was so flavorful. The lemon broth was also perfect, not too sour and not too bland.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The asparagus was cooked well, but the lemon broth was a bit too lemony for my taste.

The asparagus was overcooked and the lemon broth was too salty.

This asparagus with lemon broth was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more lemon juice or zest next time.
