Ingredients

Scale

Ravioli:

  • 1 package (9 oz) fresh or frozen cheese ravioli

Vegetables:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or fresh herbs like basil and parsley)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the ravioli.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  3. Add the Tomatoes: Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
  4. Combine with Ravioli: Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, gently tossing to combine with the vegetables. If the mixture seems dry, add some reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Serve: Plate the ravioli and vegetable mixture, topping with fresh herbs and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious dish!
