Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.

Add chicken broth and the contents of any included spice packet.

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Stir in asparagus pieces.

Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 1 minute.

Stir in couscous, cover the skillet, and remove from heat.

Let the mixture stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the liquid.

Stir in diced tomatoes and shredded parmesan cheese until well combined.
