Creamed Spinach - YUM!

This is one of my favorite southern treats! I am aware that it seems to totally cancel out the healthy aspects of spinach but it is so good! And Boursin cheese is one of the most amazing things I have discovered...I bought two, one for the recipe and one for me; great with pita chips!
