Ingredients:

Serving

2 cup arborio rice
0.33 cup basil, shredded
0.5 cup dry white wine
1 can low-sodium chicken broth
3 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, medium diced
2-4 oz pancetta or turkey bacon, minced
0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated, plus extra for passing
1.5 lb plum tomoatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
table salt
3 cup water

Directions:

Heat oil in a heavy pot, 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Add onion and ham/bacon; saute, stirring occasionally, until onions soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, cover and cook over medium heat until tomatoes start to look like a thin sauce, about 10 minutes.
Stir in rice and 1 teaspoon salt or to taste. Add 3 cups of the broth/water mixture and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until pan bottom is dry when rice is pulled back with spoon, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add wine, stirring frequently until absorbed. Then add 1/2 cup of the broth/water mixture at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed; cook until rice is creamy but still somewhat firm in center (add more water in 1/2 cup increments if broth/water mixture runs out), 10 to 12 minutes longer.
Stir in cheese. Serve on a wide platter or individual plates, garnish with basil, and pass additional cheese separately.
