On a large baking sheet, lay the asparagus down. *If you are adding tomatoes or mushrooms, also add those to the tray. Carefully pour the sauce ingredients over the top evenly , then roll around a bit to let them all be coated in the sauce.
Cook for 8 minutes for skinny, thin asparagus or up to 13-15 minutes to thicker asparagus. A fork should easily pierce the asparagus.
