(Total Calories = 3009)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for pasta, salt the water, and cook pasta to al dente.
Place a medium pot over medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook the vegetables until soft, about 10 minutes.
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the milk and bring it almost to a boil. Add the flour slowly, stirring constantly with a whisk. Keep stirring until the milk has thickened to the point where it covers the back of a spoon, remove from heat and add the fontinella and spinach-artichoke mixture.
Toss the prepared sauce with the pasta and transfer to a 9X13", cooking sprayed casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan over the top and bake until the cheese has melted and the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
