Main ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the asparagus to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it’s tender but still has some crunch.
  3. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic, cooking together for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine everything.
  6. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
  7. Remove from heat and fold in the freshly chopped basil and parsley.
  8. Serve this vibrant sauce over your cooked ravioli, and enjoy!

Notes

For a polished presentation, serve ravioli in shallow bowls topped with the vegetable mixture. Consider adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or more fresh herbs for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and the sauce can be frozen separately for up to 2 months.
