Ingredients
1 Tbsp or less of olive oil1 pound/quart Cherry Tomatoes 6 oz fresh or frozen asparagus spears3 cloves garlic, mashed minced1/2 cup water1 tsp lobster bouillon (or chicken, vegetable, or omit)1 splash dry sherry1-2 tsp tomato paste1 Tbsp real bacon bits
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and stir frequently for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, if using frozen asparagus, defrost in the microwave (add water to a dish, cook on high for 2 minutes). Cut into bite-sized pieces.
When the tomatoes begin to burst, add asparagus. Attempt to use a garlic press to add the garlic straight to the skillet. Settle for largish masses of mashed garlic. Mash the garlic with the spatula to further smash into smaller pieces. Inhale the lovely smell of the garlic. (Warning: this will attract hungry people to the kitchen!). Stir well.
The goal is to have all the tomatoes burst open and their liquid yumminess makes some sauce. Needing more sauce than that, add some water, the bouillon, a splash of sherry, a squeeze of tomato paste from a tube, and the bacon bits. Keep stirring occasionally to ensure that those tomatoes burst.
Serve over ravioli or other pasta.
