Meanwhile prepare vegetable stock, following the instructions on the package. Keep it boiling while cooking your risotto.
In a large saucepan add olive oil, dried chives, marjoram and rice. Cook for 3-4 minutes until rice looks milky. Add wine, and simmer until absorbed, stirring. At this point add puréed spinach and 2 ladlefuls of vegetable stock and simmer until absorbed, stirring. Keep on adding stock, ladle by ladle, until rice is tender.
Switch off the gas, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if you like, and serve.
