Created by KittenCal on March 30, 2012

3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced (garlic lovers use more if desired)
4 to 5 cups loosely packed fresh baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped (measure before chopping)
1 cup dry aborio white rice

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a medium casserole dish (fitted with a tight fitting lid).
Step 2: In a bowl combine the condensed soup with chicken broth and milk, Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper; whisk vigorously until smooth and well combined; transfer to the casserole dish.
Step 3: Melt butter in a small to medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add in onion and saute until transparent (about 4 minutes). Add in garlic and spinach leaves cook stirring 2-3 minutes. Transfer the onion/spinach mixture to the casserole dish along with the uncooked rice; stir well to combine.
Step 4: Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and stir with wooden spoon. Return to oven and continue cooking uncovered for another 10-15. ** This is only optional if you prepr a more cheesy flavor at the end of cooking mix in 1/3 cup more of Parmesan cheese
