This Ravioli with Tomatoes, Asparagus, Garlic, and Herbs is a fresh, vibrant pasta dish perfect for spring or summer. Tender cheese ravioli is tossed with juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp asparagus, garlic, and a lemony broth sauce, then finished with fresh herbs. It’s quick, elegant, and full of flavor—ideal for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 package (9–12 oz) cheese ravioli, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. Boil ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Stir in cherry tomatoes and garlic. Cook 2–3 minutes until fragrant and tomatoes begin to soften.
  4. Add chicken broth and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes to create a light sauce.
  5. Add cooked ravioli to the skillet. Gently toss to coat in the sauce and veggies.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped basil and parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  • Add red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Top with shaved parmesan or grilled shrimp/chicken for added richness and protein.
  • Frozen ravioli works well—just cook before adding.
  • Swap herbs with fresh thyme, oregano, or dill for a new twist.
