Ravioli with Tomatoes, Asparagus, Garlic, and Herbs is a quick and elegant vegetarian pasta dish featuring cheese-filled ravioli tossed in a light garlic-infused olive oil with juicy tomatoes, tender asparagus, and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb cheese or spinach ravioli (fresh or frozen)
  2. 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  3. 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 2 tbsp olive oil
  6. 2 tbsp fresh basil, parsley, or thyme, chopped
  7. Salt and black pepper to taste
  8. Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for serving
  9. Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook ravioli according to package directions. Add asparagus during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
  2. Add halved tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Gently add the cooked ravioli and asparagus to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the garlic and tomato mixture.
  4. Stir in the chopped herbs. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Serve warm with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Use cheese, spinach-ricotta, or mushroom ravioli for best flavor pairing.
  • Add lemon zest and juice for a citrusy twist.
  • Store-bought or homemade ravioli both work well.
  • Use a mix of fresh herbs like basil and parsley for extra depth.
