I've tried this recipe a few times and I can never get the blue cheese sauce right. It always ends up too watery.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The asparagus and blue cheese sauce are both delicious.

I'm not a fan of asparagus, but I loved this recipe. The prosciutto and blue cheese sauce were a great combination.

This recipe was a disaster! The asparagus was overcooked and the blue cheese sauce was too salty.

The asparagus was a bit tough, but the blue cheese sauce was delicious. I'll try again with fresher asparagus next time.

Easy to make and delicious! I used goat cheese instead of blue cheese, and it was still amazing.

This asparagus dish was a hit at my dinner party! The blue cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus added a nice touch of savory crunch.
