Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated cheese ravioli (about 9–12 oz)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

Instructions
- Cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and sauté for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
