Perfect weekend food!😍 When it's April and asparagus season is about to start, I love to make this simple meal that really let's the asparagus shine. Because sometimes simplicity is key. Pair it with a nice glass of fresh German riesling or Italian pinot blanc, with has a little bit of sweetness to it.
Tip: don't ever throw away the peels because they taste amazing in a vegetable broth!
