ASPARAGUS-PARMESAN BAKE
This quite possibly might become your favorite asparagus dish! I added in about 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder with the cayenne pepper when making the cream sauce but that is optional, and also the asparagus can be cut into half or thirds or just leave them in one piece in the dish, the choice is up to you, I sliced mine in half for this. This is delicious!
