At a Glance This Is What You Need To Make Quick Ravioli with Asparagus and Bacon

Smooshing the garlic

Crush the garlic with the back of a knife. Add salt and use the tip of your knife to flatten the garlic till it is very finely and evenly minced.

Making the sauce

There is no cream in this sauce. Instead we have used pasta water to thicken the yolks and cheese. By reserving some pasta cooking water which is full of starch it turns the sauce into a silky, saucy emulsification that coats the pasta.

Dinner in less than 30 minutes!

Ravioli with asparagus and bacon is a delicious creamy, and rich pasta dish. It is super easy to make and comes together in under 30 minutes. Pour yourself a glass of wine, a little chopping and grating later and you’re on your way to a super delicious pasta.
