After I ate some cheese ravioli today I remembered the doctor said not to eat soft cheese. I think the issue is lack pasteurization for soft cheeses ..... in the case of the ravioli however, it was boiled ... so that should be fine right?
What do you think. Yea or Nah to Ravioli?

I don't know for sure if pasteurization is the issue, which is why I posted.

I just found this article on baby center.
https://www.babycenter.com.au/pregnancy/nutrition/foodsafety/cheeseexpert/
? soft, mould-ripened cheeses, such as Brie or Camembert
? blue-veined cheeses, such as Danish Blue and Stilton
? semi-soft cheeses, such as fetta and ricotta
These cheeses are moister and less acidic than other cheeses, providing a perfect environment for bacteria to grow. However, thorough cooking should kill any listeria, so it should be safe to eat these cheeses in cooked food. Before you eat it, though, make sure it has been properly cooked and is piping hot all the way through.

First off, none of the cheese listed are in your ravioli. Secondly, "soft cheeses" doesn't mean literally soft, like pureed, melted or shredded. Those are "soft" but aren't what they're talking about. Also, ANY pasteurized dairy is fine. Even soft cheeses.
Actually I think ricotta is common in ravioli, but I do agree it's safe to eat.
Wait, you're right - I skipped that in the post. I was focused on blue and feta. But yes, all safe.
FYI, Ricotta Cheese is in Ravioli. It isn't soft due to pureeing or melting, that is just the natural composition of the cheese.
Also, the article state that because cheese like Ricotta are moister and less acidic, they are a good environment for bacteria ... this and not the pasteurization would be the issue. Based on that data, I don't see an issue with soft cheeses that are cooked to a temperature that would kill bacteria.
I know but some people literally think soft is soft so I was just adding that to my opinion. I've seen people wonder if cheese dip is ok because it's now "soft" or cheddar because if it's thin enough of shredded you can squish it between your fingers so people then think THAT qualifies as soft.

Dont consume yourself in what you cannot eat because if you follow every rule that some people say you should or shouldnt do then it will consume your life!
Enjoy!
