Editors Review
This is indeed a really creamy and comforting casserole recipe. It is a great summer dish to make when tender asparagus is in season. Its an easy but elegant casserole to prepare when you have sudden guests for dinner. I usually serve this with a fresh citrus fruit salad, accompanied with a good white wine.Chef
