Ravioli With Pork, Fennel and Shiitake Sauce

Pork RavioliIn this delicious recipe we turn convenient packaged raviolis into a Mediterranean masterpiece with this Italian blend of low-sodium broth, vegetables, lean pork tenderloin with a touch of grated Parmesan.

Inflammation-fighting fennel and iron-rich mushrooms provide plenty of phytonutrients and anti oxidents, as well a rich base for garlic, rosemary and oregano.

Top it off with a hint of buttery Parmesan cheese, and enjoy with a glass of chilled pinot grigio or if you prefer a Chianti.
