Notes: Really, anything with caramelized onions is good. This dish is just classic, and the onions, lemon and pine nuts add SO much!! Oh, and its 60 days down! CRAZY! I just ate this whole bowl of asparagus; thank god I don’t have a boyfriend, haha. SO good. I could really just eat all the stuff besides the asparagus, but its there to make the other stuff ok to eat. Oh, and thanks to my girl Sarah Mayo in boston for chatting with me the whole time I made this, and even shared with me another asparagus recipe which I am sure to tweek and throw up here. Enjoy peeps!
