To bewith this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have pea and pancetta pasta risotto using 10 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Pea and Pancetta Pasta Risotto:
- Make ready Olive oil
- Prepare 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- Make ready 1 packet pancetta lardons (about 75g)
- Make ready Dried sage (or rosemary, thyme or a mixture of all of them)
- Make ready 1 clove garlic (if you want)
- Prepare 1 splash dry white or dry vermouth (optional)
- Make ready 1 cup orzo pasta, about 200g
- Make ready 1 cup frozen peas
- Get Couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan
- Prepare 1 knob butter and a squirt of lemon juice, to serve
Steps to make Pea and Pancetta Pasta Risotto:
- 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.
- Add the dried herbs, garlic, white and black pepper and stir to release the aromas.
- Add a splash of dry vermouth, or dry white (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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
