Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook ravioli according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and sauté for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Add cherry tomatoes and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften.
Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice. Simmer for about 2 minutes to create a light sauce.
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet. Gently toss to coat in the sauce and vegetables.
Remove from heat and stir in basil, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
Swap asparagus with green beans or snap peas when out of season.
Handle ravioli gently to prevent breaking.
Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
Red pepper flakes can be added for a spicy kick.
