This sits right between a risotto and a soup - loose, glossy, and built on sweet peas and rich fat.

You’ve got that deep Parmigiano broth, the brightness from the peas and mint, and just enough guanciale to carry everything.


✨ This dish is built off three main foundations:

  • Layered Pea Flavor - broth + purée for depth and brightness

  • All’Onda Texture - loose, flowing, never stiff

  • Fat vs Fresh Balance - guanciale and butter lifted by mint
