If a recipe calls for a "bunch of asparagus" how much is that? The bunch I bought at the store was 1 1/2 lbs ... is that too much?

TIA!

Normally it refers to 1 pound. However, I'd suggest you use as much as you want to.

Agree! I love asparagus...my bunch would be 2 pounds! (Kidding, don't use 2 pounds!) You could always use the pound for the recipe and cook the rest on the side for a vegetable or to put in omelets, etc.
Have fun with your recipe!

Oh okay. Thanks guys. I am just cooking it but making a special sauce for it so I wondered if there would be enough of the sauce for a whole 1 1/2 pounds!
