Creamed Spinach-Lightened Up

I recently came across this amazing food blog.  It's called skinny taste, and the owner Gina re-creates some of her favorite recipes to use along side the Weight Watchers program.  Tonight, with my pizza mishap, I was able to make this creamed spinach recipe.  It is soooooo good!  I couldn't find the Boursin Light cheese, so I substituted with light cream cheese and it worked well.  FYI, I did notice that I had to add quite a bit of salt.
