3 spring onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 T butter
3 T flour
1 3/4 c milk

2) Place greens in a mesh strainer and press out any extra liquid.  Set aside.
3) Using the same pot, cook the onion and garlic in the butter over low heat until softened.
4) Stir in the flour.
5) Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly.  Stir in the parmesan.  Cook until thickened.
6) Stir in the greens and pasta.  Salt and pepper to taste.
