  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add prepared asparagus to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Incorporate cherry tomatoes and 1 cup of broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tomatoes soften and burst.
  5. Gently toss cooked ravioli into the skillet and add chopped herbs. Stir well to coat the ravioli.
  6. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir gently to combine before serving.
