Have you ever seen asparagus growing? The little spears just shoot right up out of the soil. They look pretty silly there, if you ask me, so if you think about it, we’re really doing them a favor when we come along to scoop them up and turn them into delicious asparagus recipes. And delicious asparagus recipes we have for you in abundance. Soups, pastas, salads, and sides; grilled, steamed, baked, and roasted. In fact, asparagus is one of the most frequently-occurring main ingredient veggies in the whole VT archive – pretty impressive for something that’s really best only during a pretty narrow season of the year. Celebrate spring’s favorite stalk with these.
