Orzo with Tomatoes, Basil and Feta

This is a great vegetarian dinner recipe that is easy to make. It’s very light and could eve be served as a side dish along fish or chicken. I got it from All Recipes a while ago and swapped out the recommended Gorgonzola cheese for Feta cheese because I like it better. I suggest if you like Gorgonzola or Bleu cheese to give it a whirl.
