Reviews
I made this and loved it. I boiled my water then put the asparagus in and cooked it bout 20 min. I kept checking it till it got to my tenderness.
mine turned into a mushy mess… how long exactly do you leave it in the boiling water for tender -crisp>
It was a nice a recipe but make sure to cook it a little longer
