Very little flavor, husband said it was ok.... I couldn't eat it. The leftovers were a little bit better.

Oh baby! Seriously, I never wanted this meal to end and I'm paying for it now. I am so stuffed because I simply could not quit eating! I'm still reminiscing about that first bite. The sauce is so creamy and then you get a nice crunch from the asparagus. Don't like asparagus? You could easily substitute broccoli. The chive & onion flavored cream cheese is the wow factor! Such a subtle taste of onion makes all the difference. I will definitely make this one again and would be good enough to serve to company.
