    1 Heat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C fan/gas 6. Put the spinach in a large colander in the sink and pour over a full kettle of boiling water to wilt. Press as much liquid out of the spinach as possible using a wooden spoon. Set aside.

    2 Heat the oil in a medium, deep frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the onion for 8–10 min until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Add the passata, oregano, honey, crème fraîche and tomatoes to the pan with the wilted spinach and mix well until the crème fraîche melts.

    3 Remove from the heat, stir in the chopped basil and ravioli or tortellini and season with pepper, then pour into a 1 litre baking dish. Bake for 20 min, then top with the cheese, if using, and cook for 5 min more. Garnish with the extra basil to serve.
