Steps:
- Heat the chicken broth in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low to keep the broth warm. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice begins to toast and is coated in the oil, about 2 minutes. Add the wine to the rice and let cook, stirring constantly, until the wine is almost completely absorbed. Reduce the heat to medium. While stirring, add the chicken broth in 1/3 cup increments, and cooking until the rice has absorbed each increment of broth. Repeat the process of adding the broth while stirring constantly until the rice is al dente, about 20 minutes. During the last few minutes of cooking time, add the peas and prosciutto to the rice. When the rice has absorbed the last of the liquid, turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring the chicken broth and 2 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; cover and keep warm. Meanwhile, arrange the prosciutto in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until soft, 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup warm broth and stir constantly until absorbed. Repeat, adding the broth in 1/2-cup increments and stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is just tender and creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat. Combine the parsley, chives and marjoram in a bowl. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the herbs to the risotto along with the gruyere, mascarpone and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter; stir vigorously until creamy, about 1 minute. Break the prosciutto into pieces. Divide the risotto among bowls and top with the prosciutto and reserved herbs.

Steps:
- Bring the broth to a low simmer in a saucepan.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and cook briefly until light brown. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, lower the heat to medium, and cook until the onion is soft but not brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups of the simmering broth and bring to a boil. Add the pastina; stir well, and reduce the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer, ladling in the broth 1/2 cup at a time as the previous addition is absorbed, and stirring occasionally to prevent the pastina from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the pasta is about three-fourths done, about 10 minutes. Add the peas and the remaining simmering broth and cook until the peas are tender and the pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter, the oregano, thyme, Parmesan, and 3 tablespoons of the bacon. Stir well. The consistency should be quite loose, like a thick soup.
- During the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the carrot juice. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter until just melted. Top with remaining bacon.

LEEK RISOTTO WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND PANCETTA
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to stir risotto constantly, but achieving a creamy risotto with slightly toothsome grains does require some attention. During the cooking process, the rice should always be lightly coated in liquid and bubbling energetically, and the liquid needs to be added gradually: Add just before the rice threatens to stick to the bottom of the pan. For the creamiest results, stir more frequently and more vigorously during the second half of the cooking, when the grains begin to release their starch.

Steps:
- Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to a large, wide saucepan, and add the pancetta slices. (It's OK if they're not in one layer, as they will shrink quite a bit.) Turn heat to medium and cook, turning and rearranging the pancetta until lightly browned, crisp, and the fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a paper towel, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Add the stock and 1 cup water to a separate medium saucepan. Transfer the saucepan to a back burner and bring to a simmer over low. Keep warm on the lowest heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan that you cooked the pancetta in, and add the leeks, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, over medium-high until wilted and soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring, until grains look slightly translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and cook until nearly absorbed, about 1 minute.
- Add a ladleful of stock to the rice - you want just enough to barely cover the surface of the rice. Cook at a lively simmer, stirring very frequently, until it's nearly absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue adding stock in this way until rice is very creamy, but still al dente, 15 to 20 minutes total. You may not need all of the liquid, but you will probably use most of it.
- Stir in the butter and cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the snap peas. Add more of the remaining liquid if needed to loosen (it should be a bit soupy), and divide among four shallow bowls. Crumble the reserved pancetta over top, and sprinkle with chives, if desired.

Steps:
- In a medium-size heavy saucepan, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook until barely softened, about 5 minutes. Add the peas, and shaking the pan to avoid burning, cook for 5 minutes. Remove and puree half the mixture and reserve. Also reserve the other, unpureed half.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pot. Add the rice and cook over medium heat until it becomes opaque. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the wine has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the broth and the pureed pea mixture.
- Cook at a lively simmer for 15 minutes. Add half the remaining unpureed pea mixture, stir and cook 10 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, add the remaining pea mixture and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cheese and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for short-grain rice that's specifically made for risotto, such as Arborio or Carnaroli. Use good-quality broth, preferably homemade. And don't skimp on the Parmesan cheese - use a real Parmigiano-Reggiano if you can find it.
- Toast the rice before cooking: This will help to develop the rice's flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy. Heat some olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add the rice. Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is golden brown and aromatic, about 2 minutes.
- Add the broth gradually: Don't dump all of the broth into the saucepan at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the broth evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
- Cook the risotto until it is al dente: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. It should not be mushy. Taste the rice as you cook it to make sure it is done to your liking.
- Stir in the peas and prosciutto at the end: This will prevent the peas from becoming overcooked and the prosciutto from becoming tough. Add the peas and prosciutto during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Finish the risotto with Parmesan cheese and butter: This will add a rich, creamy flavor to the dish. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter just before serving.
Conclusion:
Risotto with Peas and Prosciutto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different types of vegetables, meats, and cheeses to create your own unique risotto recipe.
