Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 12 oz. orzo
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp. tomato paste
- 2 c. low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 c. whole milk

- ½ tsp. (or more) kosher salt
- ¼ tsp. (or more) freshly ground black pepper
- 4 oz. baby spinach (about 5 packed c.)

Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add orzo and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until orzo is lightly toasted and garlic is fragrant, about 4 minutes.
