Description

A quick and flavorful pasta dish featuring cheese-filled ravioli tossed with sautéed asparagus, cherry tomatoes, garlic, fresh herbs, and Parmesan in a light lemony broth.


Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated cheese ravioli (about 912 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and sauté for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Add cherry tomatoes and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently mix with vegetables and sauce.
  6. Stir in chopped basil, parsley, and grated Parmesan. Cook for 1–2 minutes until warmed through. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  • Swap Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
  • Add red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet with a splash of broth for best texture.
