This is my go to vegetable side dish. It is so easy to make this baked asparagus and it only takes about 15 minutes total. My favorite thing about this recipe is the fact that my 2 year old will eat this without it turning into a negotiation! We eat leftovers a lot at my house and I love that I can quickly make up some fresh asparagus to go with the leftovers. You can use any type of Italian cheese on this asparagus. I usually use mozzarella or grated Parmesan.
