I thought the asparagus was a bit tough. I think it would be better if it was cooked for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I may have added too much liquid.

This recipe is a good starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some sun-dried tomatoes and olives.
