Ravioli Primavera with Tomatoes, Asparagus & Fresh Herbs

A vibrant and fresh pasta dish that celebrates spring with colorful vegetables and delicate ravioli.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Ravioli (your choice: cheese, spinach, or butternut squash)
  • Tomatoes (Diced: cherry, grape, or ripe)
  • Asparagus (Cut into Pieces)
  • Garlic (Minced)
  • Fresh Herbs (Basil, Parsley, etc.)
  • Olive Oil (extra virgin)
  • Salt and Black Pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Ravioli: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently drop in your fresh ravioli — they’ll take about 3-5 minutes depending on their size. Always refer to the package instructions.
  2. Prep the Veggies: While your pasta is cooking, gather your veggies. Dice those tomatoes and cut your asparagus into bite-sized pieces. If your garlic isn’t already minced, now’s the time to crush and chop it.
  3. Sauté the Asparagus and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the asparagus first, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the Tomatoes and Herbs: Add your diced tomatoes to the skillet; let them cook for about 3-5 minutes until they become juicy. Stir in your fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine with Ravioli: Once your ravioli are cooked, drain them and add them to the skillet with the veggie mixture. Toss everything together gently.
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle herbs on top.
