Parmesan and Spinach Orzo

This is simply delicious.  I tried it out when I had half a bag of spinach that I needed to use quick before it went bad.  So next time you have leftover spinach (or next time you just want more spinach), pull out this recipe.

Ingredients:
1 cup orzo pasta
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1- 1 1/4 cup milk (original recipe calls for 1, I needed an extra 1/4 cup)
1 1/2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste


Ingredients:

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until melted, about 1 minute. Add orzo and gently toss to combine; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Serve immediately.
