Cook the pancetta, stirring, until it becomes crisp and bronzed, then add the peas and stir for a minute or so until the frozen look leaves them. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring, until it becomes crisp and bronzed, then add the peas and stir for a minute or so until the frozen look leaves them.

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook pea and pancetta pasta risotto using 10 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Pea and Pancetta Pasta Risotto:
  1. Prepare Olive oil
  2. Get 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  3. Prepare 1 packet pancetta lardons (about 75g)
  4. Make ready Dried sage (or rosemary, thyme or a mixture of all of them)
  5. Make ready 1 clove garlic (if you want)
  6. Prepare 1 splash dry white wine or dry vermouth (optional)
  7. Get 1 cup orzo pasta, about 200g
  8. Make ready 1 cup frozen peas
  9. Prepare Couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan
  10. Prepare 1 knob butter and a squirt of lemon juice, to serve

Once the texture is to your liking, stir in the cooked pancetta and the peas. Cook the pancetta, stirring, until it becomes crisp and bronzed, then add the peas and stir for a minute or so until the frozen look leaves them. Put the pancetta in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate and set aside.

Instructions to make Pea and Pancetta Pasta Risotto:
  1. I usually use a cast iron frying pan for this but it works fine in a heavy-based pan too. Heat a splash of olive oil and saute the chopped onion and pancetta until soft and slightly browning.
  2. Add the dried herbs, garlic, white and black pepper and stir to release the aromas.
  3. Add a splash of dry vermouth, or dry white wine (although you don't have to, I don't think Nigella does), and stir so any sticky bits at the bottom of the pan are released.
  4. Add the orzo pasta and stir to coat in the oil, then add 2 and a half cups (the same cup you measured the pasta in) of cold water, and a splash of chicken stock. You can also use vegetable stock, or just water.
  5. Let the risotto bubble gently, stir from time to time to prevent it sticking on the bottom. When the stock/water is nearly all absorbed, add the peas, and a little more water if needed, until the pasta is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes in total.
  6. Grate some Parmesan cheese - up to you how much, I used a couple of handfuls, stir through the pasta together with a squeeze of lemon juice and a knob of butter if you wish (I forgot). Check the seasoning and serve with a green salad. So speedy!

Put the pancetta in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate and set aside. A wonderful balance of flavours is created by the vibrant peas, earthy mushrooms and salty pancetta, while mascarpone and Parmesan add creaminess and depth, ensuring the perfect oozy consistency. Gently fry the onions and garlic in a little olive oil until almost translucent. Add the pancetta and stir regularly until it becomes crisp and bronzed.
