Step 1
Heat broth in a separate pot and keep it at a gentle simmer—warm broth absorbs better than cold.
Step 2
Cook pancetta in a heavy skillet over medium heat until edges crisp, about 4 minutes. Add diced onion, cook until soft, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in arborio rice, coating every grain with fat. Toast for 1 minute until the rice smells nutty.
Step 4
Pour in wine, stir until the liquid is nearly absorbed, ~2 minutes. Now start adding warm broth one ladleful at a time.
Step 5
Keep stirring and adding broth in stages for 16–18 minutes. Rice should look creamy but grains still have a slight bite.
Step 6
Stir in frozen peas, parmesan, and parsley. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
