Hi! I will be sitting with you this Saturday at the McCombs wedding. My mom is Lyla's sister. Since the shower, mom told me about your blog and i have found it very interesting. I was wondering if you have ever cooked asparagus with a white sauce. I would like to make this with salmon for my mom's 75th birthday Sunday. Thanks! And I will see you Saturday!

Hi Jacqui. I look forward to meeting you on Saturday. I haven't ever cooked asparagus with a white sauce, but I'm assuming you are referring to a basic bechamel sauce. I posted my recipe for bechamel sauce on March 13, 2012. Type "bechamel sauce" in the search bar and it will show up for you. I typically use this sauce with pasta but I think it would be good with asparagus. Be sure to use whatever cheese you wish. If you need a recipe for a white sauce of another type, please let me know. I am so happy you commented. Let me know how it turns out.
ReplyDeletePS. We're having asparagus tonight for supper, coincidentally!
