List of Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus or two 9-ounce or 10-ounce packages frozen cut asparagus
- 1 medium yellow sweet pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 1 cup)

- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh Italian parsley
- 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Butter a 2-quart rectangular baking dish; set aside.

- In a saucepan, bring about 1 inch water to boiling. Add asparagus, pepper strips, and onion; bring just to boiling. Reduce heat slightly; cover and boil about 1 minute or until crisp-tender. Drain well, reserving some asparagus tips for garnish. Spread asparagus-pepper mixture evenly in baking dish. Layer zucchini slices over.
