Once the sizzling subsides, add the cream and cheese and stir together over low heat until the cheese melts. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Add the spinach leaves and stir together until they start to wilt. Keep the sauce warm.
Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and the ravioli.

Notes
Do not add oil to the water when you cook the ravioli - it will cause your sauce to slide off!
