I was looking for a different way to serve asparagus for my Easter dinner. This intrigued me, because of the dijon mustard. I made a mistake when I went to the store...I accidently picked up Golden's Spicy Brown Mustard instead of Dijon...undaunted, I forged ahead. This is simply an amazing dish. I only parboiled the spears for 3 minutes, as I was afraid of over cooking them to the "mushy"stage. The butter, garlic and mustard made a lovely sauce that peerfectly coated the spears and the mushrooms. Every one of my guests commented on how much they loved the combo. and I gave out several copies of the recipe. Thanks for making my Easter dinner more memorable!

    Just happened to have some mushrooms and asparagus in the fridg., so I decided to try this. The spears weren't especially thin, so I did boil them first, but only for about 2 and 1/2 min. Only used 1T. of Dijon. They turned out very well--DH really liked them. Thanks!

    Delightful combination! My asparagus were very skinny and I do like them crunchy so I did not preboil them. I put the butter, mustard and mushrooms on the skillet heated the mushrooms through and then added damp asparagus, cooked for 3 minutes stirred them twice and they were perfect. Had a picky eater for dinner and they disappeared from her plate in a hurry Thanks TGirl,RN for a very good recipe

    Delicious — my new favorite way to make asparagus. I used the skinny asparagus for this dish, cooking it about half the time indicated and it was just perfect with steak and baked potatoes. Thanks for sharing! This is a keeper for sure.
