Effortless Ravioli Tomatoes Asparagus (Print View)

Soft cheese ravioli mixed up with fresh asparagus, sweet tomatoes and loads of herbs in a simple, lemony broth and a generous shake of Parmesan.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnish
02 - 20 ounces (1 package) fresh cheese ravioli
03 - 1/4 cup chicken broth or stock
04 - 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
05 - 3 minced garlic cloves
06 - 1 lemon’s juice (about 1 tablespoon)
07 - A pinch of salt and pepper, as needed
08 - 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
09 - 1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped fresh
10 - A tablespoon of olive oil
11 - 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into short pieces

# Directions:

01 - Follow the directions on the ravioli package to cook it. Drain thoroughly, and put it to the side.
02 - Warm up olive oil in a big pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the asparagus and cook for around 4-5 minutes until it's crisp but tender.
03 - Add chopped garlic and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are a little soft.
04 - Pour chicken broth and squeeze in lemon juice. Let it bubble gently for a couple of minutes.
05 - Gently add your drained ravioli to the pan. Toss everything around so the ravioli is coated all through the sauce and vegetables.
06 - Mix in chopped basil, parsley, and the grated Parmesan. Let it all cook together for another minute or two until warm.
07 - Serve while hot. Sprinkle a bit more Parmesan on top if that's your thing.
