Method

step 1
Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the pancetta (1 pack) and cook for 10 minutes, until golden.
step 2
Tip in the orzo (320 g) and toast for 1 minute in the pancetta juices. Add the flavour pot (1) and a ladleful of chicken stock (1 pouch), stirring after each addition has been absorbed, as you would with risotto.
step 3
Continue adding stock, a ladleful at a time, until the orzo is just cooked. This should take around 15 minutes.
step 4
Stir in the petit pois (300 g) and asparagus (125 g), cooking for 2–3 minutes until the asparagus is tender.
step 5
Mix through three‑quarters of the parmesan (75 g) until creamy, then season to taste.
step 6
Serve topped with the remaining parmesan (25 g).
step 6 Serve topped with the remaining parmesan (25 g).
