Asparagus with Lemon Sauce image

We didn't have an oven or stove in our first years of marriage, so we relied heavily on our microwave. This side of asparagus in a creamy lemon sauce was always a favorite. Garnished with fresh lemon wedges, it's a pretty addition to any menu. -Janice Gerbitz, Woodland, California
