Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1 package (20 ounces) refrigerated cheese ravioli

Instructions

  • Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes and garlic to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to combine with the vegetables and sauce.
  • Stir in the fresh basil, parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Serve the ravioli hot, topped with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Equipment

Notes

  • Cooking the Asparagus: Make sure not to overcook the asparagus. You want it to be tender but still have a bit of a crunch. Overcooked asparagus can become mushy and lose its bright green color.
  • Seasoning: Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed. A little extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice can enhance the flavors.
  • Choosing Ravioli: Use high-quality, refrigerated cheese ravioli for the best texture and flavor. If you have time, making homemade ravioli would elevate this dish even further.
