I saw this recipe on Nigellas new Italian inspired show Nigellisimo and it looked like a delicious and quick alternative to a full risotto. The recipe calls for orzo pasta which I had never used before. It's small grains of pasta very similar to rice and can be treated the same. I cooked this meal in 15 minutes and that includes reading recipe and plating up.
Fry pancetta cubes in pan with dash of oil (not much is needed due to fat in pancetta). Then add peas and stir for two minutes. Add orzo, two cups of water and half a cup of white wine or martini. Allow to simmer so or zo can cook, this should take 8 mins. When reduced, add granted parmesan and stir. That's it-simple.
