Start by melting butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the orzo and garlic and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is lightly toasted, and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and stir until combined. Add the vegetable broth, milk, and sun-dried tomatoes, and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the liquid is mostly absorbed, and the orzo is cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
Add the spinach, about a handful at a time, and stir to incorporate until wilted. Add the parmesan and stir to combine.
Remove from the heat and serve. Garnish with additional parmesan. Enjoy!
