This was absolutely delicious! I used the reduced fat Boursin, which wasn't the same full flavor, but it still made a fabulous spinach dish. It was on sale at the time, but next time I'll splurge, bc I LOVE Boursin Cheese! I also used fresh spinach as you suggested. I was a good choice, very simple and a great compliment to any meal.
