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.

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.
