Description
A quick and flavorful ravioli dish with cheese-filled pasta, sautéed tomatoes, tender asparagus, garlic, and fragrant herbs, all tossed together for a fresh, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
1 package (16-20 oz) refrigerated cheese ravioli
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomatoes, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (basil or thyme), for garnish
Olive oil, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions, about 3-5 minutes. Drain the ravioli, reserving a little pasta water.
- While the ravioli cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender but vibrant in color.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet with asparagus and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in diced tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and toss gently to combine with vegetables. Add a splash of reserved pasta water to coat the ravioli and create a light sauce if needed.
- Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or thyme, and drizzle with olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to swap asparagus with other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
- Top with freshly grated Parmesan or mozzarella for extra cheese flavor.
- For a heartier dish, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or sausage.
- If using frozen ravioli, follow the package cooking instructions, as they may differ from refrigerated ravioli.
