Directions
Asparagus With Cheese Sauce,Quick and easy to make in the microwave. The sauce is absolutely luscious over the crisp spears.,A flavorful sauce (used cheedar-jack cheese), but I didn’t like the slightly grainy texture from the roux. I think I would rather use cornstarch stirred into cool milk, and just make it on the stovetop next time and get that silkier texture. I did not have any problems with thickening like another reviewer commented on. When I stirred in the hot milk, it thickened beautifully and immediately. I added a touch of garlic powder and freshly cracked pepper. Was very tasty!,I didn’t make the sauce, just the asparagus (though the sauce does sound good!) used a pyrex loaf pan, and found the asparagus was crisp tender in 4.5 minutes. 🙂 TFS!
