Author Notes
This dish makes a nice light dinner, and is great for spring. The garlic is there but not over-powering, the lemon adds a nice, bright, flavor, and the asparagus adds a nice crunch. I would imagine that this could be made with any number of cheeses, especially goat cheese. —beijinggirl
