Personal Notes:
I found this recipe online and found it to be very good.
Here are notes from the original submitter: Selland's market-cafe in Sacramento is an uncommonly good cafe. I recently had some of their asparagus and loved the texture--slightly crunchy--and with a hint of lemon, olive oil and Parmesan.
