Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Ravioli: Cook the refrigerated cheese ravioli according to package instructions, about 3-5 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Asparagus: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped asparagus and cook for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  3. Add Tomatoes and Garlic: Add 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Create Sauce: Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and the juice of half a lemon, stirring to combine. Allow to simmer for about 2 minutes.
  5. Combine Ravioli: Gently mix the reserved ravioli into the skillet, tossing them with the sauce for an additional minute until heated through.
  6. Finish the Dish: Stir in chopped fresh basil and parsley along with ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Serve: Dish out your Ravioli with Tomatoes and Asparagus, garnishing with extra Parmesan if desired, and serve hot.
