Easy Cheesy Risotto Carbonara

  • 60ml olive oil
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 chopped garlic clove
  • 200g chopped smoky bacon
  • 2 eggs plus 3 egg yolks
  • 160g grated parmesan
  • 250g risotto rice
  • 1.25ml chicken stock
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the garlic, onion and bacon. Cook for about 12 mins. Meanwhile, combine the eggs, yolks and cheese in a bowl and season generously with pepper.
  • Stir the rice into the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute, then add the stock a ladleful at a time for 20 mins, or until the liquid has been absorbed. Once the rice is al dente, remove from the heat and allow to sit for 2 mins, then add the egg mixture and stir for 3 mins until rich and creamy. Season well, scatter with plenty of extra parmesan and pepper, and serve.
