Ingredients

8 Tablespoons Butter
6 strips Bacon, Chopped
1 whole Onion, Chopped
2 Tablespoons Parsley, Chopped
10 ounces, weight Peas, Frozen
5 cups Chicken Broth
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
1 teaspoon Sugar
2 cups Rice, Preferably Arborio
1/3 cups Heavy Cream
1/2 cups Parmesan, Shredded

Directions

1

Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Once melted, add chopped bacon and cook until lightly browned.
2

Add onion and cook until softened. Then add the parsley and stir to combine. Add frozen peas, and 4 cups of chicken broth. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for about 2 minutes.
3

Add the rice and stir frequently. Allow to cook until rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring and adding a little more broth as needed throughout. You want the rice to remain moist and creamy; you are not trying to eliminate the moisture here.

Once rice is cooked, add in 1/3 cup heavy cream and continue to stir for another 1-2 minutes. Add Parmesan and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Serve immediately!
