This was a great recipe! I made it for a dinner party and my guests loved it. The asparagus was cooked perfectly and the anchovy butter was a delicious addition. I will definitely be making this again.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The asparagus was fine, but the anchovy butter was a bit bland. I think I'll stick to my usual roasted asparagus recipe.

This recipe was a disaster! The asparagus was overcooked and the anchovy butter was inedible. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be trying this recipe again.

The asparagus was cooked well, but the anchovy butter was a bit too strong for my taste. I would recommend using less anchovies or omitting them altogether.

This was my first time steaming asparagus and it turned out perfectly! The anchovy butter was a nice touch, but I think I'll try it with a different type of butter next time.

I love asparagus and anchovies, so I knew I had to try this recipe. I was not disappointed! The asparagus was perfectly steamed and the anchovy butter was divine. I served it with grilled salmon and it was a perfect meal.

The asparagus turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and it was a success. The anchovy butter was a bit too salty for my taste, so I'll reduce the amount of anchovies next time. Overall, a great recipe that I'll definitely make again.
