We love asparagus and cook it just the way you described the way Giada cooks her asparagus. I use a stoneware baking pan and because it retains heat I take the asparagus out of the pan as soon as it comes out of the oven so it stays crisp, and don't bake a minute longer than 10 minutes. So good.

Yes I made it. Yes it is dangerous because it is so easy. Make everything in the one coffee cup so easy clean up. I did not have any cocoa so used 2T of a vanilla flavored English powderd custard called Bird's. Came out great. Will have to try other flavors since it is so easy.
