🧾 Ingredients

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved 🍅
4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
3 tablespoons olive oil 🫒

👩‍🍳 How to Make Ravioli with Tomatoes, Asparagus, Garlic, and Herbs

1. Cook the Ravioli

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook according to package instructions (usually 4–5 minutes). Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set ravioli aside.

2. Sauté the Veggies

While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Stir in asparagus and cook 3–4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Add cherry tomatoes and cook another 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften and burst.

3. Toss it Together

Add cooked ravioli to the skillet along with reserved pasta water. Toss gently to coat everything in the garlicky oil. Season with salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir in basil and parsley. Remove from heat.

4. Garnish & Serve

Plate and top with freshly grated parmesan or goat cheese if desired. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat. Serve immediately with crusty bread or a side salad.

🧡 Pro Tips & Tricks

Don’t overcook the ravioli—they’re delicate and cook quickly.
For even more flavor, roast the tomatoes and asparagus ahead of time.
Add spinach or arugula at the end for a leafy green twist.
Use garlic-infused olive oil for an extra layer of richness.

🥶 Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water or olive oil.
