Boursin cheese makes a quick and easy sauce for fresh spinach. Make this dish for a weekend meal or special holiday dinner, and garnish with a little freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

  • 10 to 12 ounces baby spinach (rinsed)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 container (4.4 ounces) light boursin cheese with garlic and herbs
  • 1 tablespoon grated nutmeg
  • Dash freshly ground black pepper
  • Garnish: shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps to Make It

  1. In a large saucepan, saute the onion in butter over medium heat. When onion is softened, add the rinsed spinach. Cook, stirring until spinach has wilted.
