Asparagus for Easter

Last week, I hinted at my love of asparagus. This weekend I finally got to indulge myself and eat this springtime veggie until I was sated (at least for the time-being). It was on sale at a local grocery stores for $1.48 a pound and I bought three big bunches. Trimming off the woody ends, I tossed the stalks with olive oil, salt, pepper and lots of chopped garlic and roasted it in a 400 degree oven until they were tender. I ate one piece as soon as I pulled the pan out of the oven, standing over the stove, burning my fingers as blew on the tip, trying to cool it down enough to ingest.

The rest got piled into a loaf pan for easy transportation to the home of friends for an Easter lunch. Lucky for me, there were some leftovers, so late last night, I ate the rest straight out of the pan, at room temperature. I went to bed smelling of garlic but feeling totally satisfied with the amount of asparagus I had consumed.

Roasting is by far my favorite way to prepare asparagus. What's your preferred method for cooking this spring-y vegetable?
