Asparagus with Tomatoes

This dish looks fancier than it is!  It is simple with only a few ingredients, but tastes delicious!

1 1/2-2lbs Asparagus
2 Tbsps Olive Oil
1 Pint Grape Tomatoes, cut in half
1 1/2 Tbsps Balsamic Vinegar
3 oz Feta Cheese

Put 1 tbsp of olive oil in the bottom of a 2 qt baking dish.  Place the asparagus in the dish and salt and pepper.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, depending on how thick the stalks are.

While the asparagus is baking, heat the remaining tbsp of olive oil over medium heat in a pan.  Add the tomatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan.  Cook for about 3-5 minutes, the balsamic should begin to thicken slightly.

Pour the tomatoes and balsamic over the asparagus.  Season with some additional salt and pepper and top with the feta.  Serve immediately.
