For an even richer flavor, consider using a combination of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheese. If you don't have Arborio rice, Carnaroli rice is a good substitute. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large skillet over medium heat, cook diced bacon, stirring occasionally, until perfectly browned and crisp. (Approximately 10 minutes). Drain on paper towels, reserving the rendered bacon fat for added flavor.
02 Step
Recipe View In a saucepan, bring chicken stock to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low to keep warm. (Approximately 5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; cook and stir until the onion turns golden brown at the edges. (Approximately 2 minutes). Stir in Arborio rice until each grain is coated in butter and begins to toast slightly. (Approximately 2 to 3 minutes).
04 Step
Recipe View Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/3 of the warm chicken stock to the rice, stirring continuously until the liquid is absorbed and the rice turns creamy. Repeat this process twice more, ensuring constant stirring. (Approximately 15 to 20 minutes in all). The rice should be tender yet slightly firm, with a luxurious, creamy texture.
05 Step
Recipe View Remove risotto from heat. Stir in the reserved crisp bacon, grated Parmesan cheese, and season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the risotto to rest for a minute or two, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously before serving.
