Pinch of salt

90 g (3 packed cups) baby spinach
50 g (½ cup) grated parmesan cheese

Notes
You can use any ravioli filling you prefer—cheese, mushroom, or meat work well with this sauce.
For a vegan version, swap the heavy cream for coconut cream or plant-based cream and use vegan cheese.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or stock to loosen the sauce.
