If you’re looking for a great and light Summer meal, this is a great option. A friend sent this to me. It didn’t really have measurements, but I think its the kind of recipe you don’t need exact measurements for. You can also change up the veggies depending what in season.
What kind of veggies to use?
Asparagus is always in season in the supermarket, but if you don’t like asparagus, you can use a multitude of other veggies. Just make sure they can cook to your liking in about 7 minutes. You don’t want to cook much longer or the tomatoes will turn to mush.Â
What other ingredients can you add?
This dish would be great with olives as well. Or what about fresh lemon slices and capers? Zucchini, eggplant, you name it. 
How easy is this to make?
In the Summer especially, no one wants to slave in the kitchen. This is a quick and super easy dish that can easily be made inside or out. If cooking outside, all you need is a grille with a side burner. Ravioli only takes 4-5 minutes to cook. Instead of making the tomato/asparagus mixture while the ravioli is cooking, make first. Then cook ravioli for 5 minutes and add to the vegetable mixture. This could also be made on an open fire with a grate if you’re a camper!
This dish is super easy, super tasty and satisfying for a quick weeknight meal or as a side to a great steak.
