   Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

   In a baking dish, combine the uncooked orzo pasta, sautéed onion, garlic, wilted spinach, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

5. 05

   Pour in the vegetable broth and whole milk, stirring well to distribute the pasta and vegetables evenly.

   Fold in most of the crumbled feta cheese, reserving a small amount for the topping.

7. 07

   Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.

8. 08

   Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining crumbled feta cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the pasta is tender and the cheese is lightly browned.

   Let rest for 5 minutes before serving hot.
