This was my favorite recipe for 2008. It is a delicious, different and very flavorful dish. Just the thought of making this sauce makes my mouth water, but keep in mind, a little of it goes a long way. The ravioli freeze beautifully so are great for a make ahead appetizer. If using frozen, do not defrost. Boil them frozen. Ground chicken or turkey can be substituted for the pork.
