Ready In
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onions and garlic until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir flour into onion mixture and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Gradually pour milk into onion mixture while constantly beating with a whisk until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Add spinach to sauce and cook until spinach is slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.
- Mix Parmesan cheese into spinach sauce; cook and stir until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Fold orzo into spinach sauce and season with salt and pepper.

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.
