This creamy garlic, orzo, and spinach dish is a great accompaniment to any meal or can serve as an entree with a protein added.
I made a 1/2 recipe and used a smaller onion and it was fine. I also added some chopped mushrooms. I only had a few mushrooms left - next time I'll add more. I used kale/spinach mix and it was really good. I also used shredded bellavitano cheese that I had and it added a really great flavor. It was really quick and easy to make and I would definitely make again.

The family just didn't like it. As a rule of thumb.....don't add your garlic at the same time as your onions....it over cooks, turns brown, and then makes your dish bitter. The only thing I did different was to switch step 4 and step 5....melted my cheese first, then let my spinach wilt--otherwise the spinach will be overcooked and brown. Still. The family didn't like it and we won't make it again.

once you correctly modify the recipe then its really good. Use 1/2 of an onion and 2 garlic cloves and about 4 tbsp of flour. Warning the sauce turns green from all of the spinach.
WAY too much onion. I had to season this a lot more to get it to not taste like milk sauce. I handed this recipe and it is way more than 4 servings worth. Could have fed 8 off of it.

Made it exactly as the recipe, we love onions, several times and each time it was wonderful. Makes plenty that for sure. I left a star out only because it has a lot of steps to it.
I added carrots for color and texture. I also added Asiago cheese for a more complex flavor. I doubled the garlic too.
