– 1 cup cooked asparagus, chopped

Instructions
To create Asparagus & Tomato Ravioli, follow these simple steps:
1. Make the Pasta Dough: On a clean surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center. Add eggs, olive oil, and salt into the well. Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the eggs until combined. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, approximately 8-10 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cooked asparagus, cherry tomatoes, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the rested pasta dough into four portions. Roll each portion thinly using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until it’s about 1/16 inch thick.
4. Form Ravioli: Cut the rolled dough into squares or circles. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Brush the edges with water, fold the dough over, and press to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
5. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
6. Prepare the Sauce: In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté additional garlic until fragrant. Toss in fresh cherry tomatoes and season. Let them cook for about 5 minutes until softened, then add in the cooked ravioli, tossing gently to coat.
7. Finish the Dish: Remove from heat and season with salt, pepper, and fresh basil. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil before serving.
