Parmesan and Spinach Orzo Recipe

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.
