Grilled Asparagus With a Basil-Goat Cheese Sauce image

This spring or summertime dish adds a touch of sophistication and kapow to grilling asparagus. It is based off of a sauce by Mean Chef, #41126, used with BBQ shrimp. The key lies in the contrast between seasoned, grilled aspargus and the subtle herbed cream. A possible variation would be to substitute cream cheese for goat cheese, though I have not tried it.

I'm allergic to goat cheese, so I used a different cheese in the sauce. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my asparagus turned out mushy. I think I'll try grilling it for less time next time.

This is the perfect side dish for a summer barbecue. It's light and refreshing, and the goat cheese sauce adds a touch of elegance.

The sauce is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making it with a lighter cheese next time.

I made this dish for a vegetarian friend and she loved it. It's a great option for a meatless meal.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover goat cheese. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce was too thick. I had to add more milk to thin it out.

I'm not usually a fan of asparagus, but this recipe changed my mind. The goat cheese sauce is amazing and really brings out the flavor of the asparagus.

This grilled asparagus with basil goat cheese sauce was a hit at my last dinner party. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this dish again.
