LEEK, BACON, AND PEA RISOTTO
I learned how to make risotto at a cooking class in Italy, the day before my wedding. Risotto takes practice and patience, but even if the consistency isn't perfect, this recipe is delicious regardless.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, bring broth to a simmer over medium.
- Halve leeks lengthwise; rinse thoroughly. Pat dry; thinly slice.
- Meanwhile, in a large, straight-sided skillet or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium, stirring, until lightly browned but not crisp, 5 minutes. Add leeks; cook, stirring, until softened, 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add rice and cook, stirring, until translucent around edges, 1 minute.
- Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, until broth is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Repeat process, gradually adding broth, until rice is al dente and risotto is creamy (you may not need all the broth), about 35 minutes.
- Stir in peas (if using) after the final addition of broth.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in Parmesan.
- Cover and let stand 2 minutes.
- Season risotto with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
