How to Make It
Cook the Ravioli
Begin by boiling your ravioli according to package directions. Be sure to salt the water for added flavor. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and gently sauté garlic until fragrant. Add asparagus and cook until it starts to soften, followed by cherry tomatoes. Cook just until the tomatoes begin to burst and release their juices.
Toss It All Together
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and a touch of red pepper flakes for heat if desired. Finish with chopped fresh herbs and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan.
Serve and Enjoy
