Assemble and Serve: Arrange the steamed asparagus spears artfully on serving plates. Drizzle generously with the warm raspberry sauce. Alternatively, serve the sauce in a separate sauceboat for individual drizzling.
For a richer flavor, consider using Greek yogurt instead of low-fat yogurt. It will provide a creamier texture and a more intense tang.
A pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper can enhance the flavors of both the asparagus and the raspberry sauce.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after warming.
Garnish with fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint for an elegant presentation.
