Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked penne
- 1 (5.2 ounce/150g) package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese

Instructions
- Fill a pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook the pasta until it's al dente, following the package instructions.

- Toss with two spoons until you achieve your desired sauce consistency. Gradually add more pasta water if needed.
- Introduce fresh baby spinach to the pasta and continue tossing until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
- Cover the pot and let it sit for a minute or two, allowing the spinach to wilt and merge flavors with the pasta.
- Finally, serve your delightful Boursin Pasta. If needed, sprinkle some salt and pepper for that extra kick.
