Servings

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  2. Heat a large casserole pot over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and cook, as you stir, until crispy, for about 6-7 minutes. Take out and put to the side.
  3. Reduce heat slightly to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and shallots and cook until tender, for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the rice and coat in the butter for about 1 minute.
  5. Turn up heat to high. Add in the wine and let it simmer until the liquid is mostly gone.
  6. Put in the stock and bring it to a boil, as you stir. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Put lid on the pot and put into the oven. Cook until the risotto has a creamy consistency, for about 20 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and put over medium heat. Stir in the peas and asparagus and cook until the vegetables are warm, for about 5 minutes.
  9. Mix in the rest of the butter and Parmesan. Taste and season.
  10. Garnish with more Parmesan and reserved pancetta.
