I thought this dish was just okay. The asparagus was a bit bland and the sauce was a little too sour for my taste.

This dish was a little too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the cheese was a bit overpowering.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but this dish changed my mind! The asparagus was roasted to perfection and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very flavorful.

This baked pasta with asparagus was a hit! The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I added some extra Parmesan cheese on top before baking and it was the perfect touch.
