Orzo pasta with spinach, Feta cheese and wine

A nice recipe to cook the orzo and have something light but still filling at your table. Although orzo is a type of pasta, in this recipe it is handled as if we'd cook a risotto. Meaning slow cooking in low heat and that makes it really tasty and creamy in the end
