Ingredients:
| 1 cup | orzo pasta |
| 1 tablespoon | olive oil |
| 2 cloves | garlic, minced |
| 1 | onion, diced |
| 1 tablespoon | all-purpose flour |
| 1 cup | milk |

Directions:
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.
