Ingredients
- Onion, finely sliced
- 50 g Pancetta, finely minced

- 1/3 Cup of unsalted butter

Directions
Make pea broth by shelling the peas and cooking the husks in lightly salted water before straining the liquid.
Saute the onion and pancetta in oil and half the butter. Add the rice when the onion turns golden. Cook for around five minutes, stirring constantly until the rice turns translucent. Add pea broth a ladle at a time until the rice is half done then add the shelled peas and parsley. When rice is al dente remove the heat and stir in the remainder of the butter and two tablespoons of Grana Padano. Serve dressed with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous sprinkling of cheese.
Enjoy!
