Baked Pasta with Spinach, Lemon, and Cheese

should have read the reviews on this one before making it!!  it sounded delicious but it was definitely missing something in taste..   pretty bland - definitely needs MORE salt - and i almost never add salt to anything!  but it definitely needs more flavors.  but who knows maybe my bland is your flavorful :)

Ingredients

• 10  ounce  casarecce pasta or fusilli (short twisted spaghetti)
• 1  (5-ounce) package fresh baby spinach
• 1  tablespoon  olive oil
• 4  cups  chopped onion
• 1.1  ounces  all-purpose flour (about 1/4 cup)
• 4  garlic cloves, minced
• 2 1/2  cups  1% low-fat milk
• 1/2  cup  dry white wine
• 1  cup  (4 ounces) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
• 3/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  grated lemon rind
• 1/2  teaspoon  black pepper
• Cooking spray
• 3/4  cup  panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), divided

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 minutes or until almost al dente, omitting salt and fat. Remove from heat; stir in spinach. Let stand for 2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Drain pasta mixture well.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion; cook 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add flour and garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly with a whisk. Gradually add milk and wine; cook 8 minutes or until sauce boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Stir in 3/4 cup cheese, salt, and rind. Remove from heat; stir in pepper. Add pasta mixture to onion mixture, and toss gently to coat.
4. Spoon the pasta mixture into a 13 x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle half of panko breadcrumbs over pasta, and top evenly with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle the remaining half of panko breadcrumbs over cheese. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until browned and bubbly.
