Bacon wrapped asparagus


I made this as a side-dish to go with some cheater spaghetti. Hubby's mom gifted us with several jars of spaghetti sauce that I've been trying to get through.

My mom ALWAYS sautees asparagus. Well, lo and behold, a little internet search showed me that I could indeed ROAST asparagus in the oven!! So, I took a few spears of asparagus each, wrapped it in some of el cheapo bacon we bought from Ralphs (nice and thick so it's quite good). Drizzle with olive oil, pepper, salt, and sprinkle some chopped shallots on top. So.darn.good.com! Waaay better than pan frying -- it doesn't get that weird...metallic taste. Do you know what I'm talking about?
