Another way I like it is to roast it. I trim them, lay them on a baking sheet, and then spray them with olive oil spray. Roast them on 400 F for 10-15 minutes. Yummy!
Asparagus casserole is tasty, but not exactly diet friendly. Butter is tasty on asparagus as well, but, again, not very diet friendly. The quiche recipe given to you sounds delicious, but watch the fat and calories...not diet friendly in any way!
