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.

[email protected]I didn't have any prosciutto on hand, so I used pancetta instead. It turned out great! The pancetta added a nice salty and smoky flavor to the dish. I also added a bit of chopped parsley at the end for some extra freshness. Overall, I was very happy

[email protected]This risotto was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The flavors were a bit bland and the texture was a bit too mushy for my taste. I probably won't make this recipe again.

[email protected]I found this recipe to be too complicated. There were too many ingredients and steps involved, and it took me much longer to make than I expected. The end result was good, but not worth the effort in my opinion.

[email protected]This risotto was a disappointment. The pastina was overcooked and mushy, and the peas were bland. The prosciutto was the only saving grace, but it wasn't enough to make up for the rest of the dish. I won't be making this recipe again.
