Ingredients
- pesto
- 2 cups lightly packed radish leaves from about 1 large bunch, tough stems removed
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup almonds
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil + more to thin if necessary
- roasted radishes
- 1 ½ cups radishes sliced in half and stems removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- pinch of salt
- pinch of pepper
- 8 ounces whole wheat pasta
- Grated Parmesan cheese for topping
- Microgreens for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the pesto by combining all the ingredients, except the oil, in a food processor. Begin processing and with the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Blend until smooth. Taste test and adjust seasonings if need be. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss the radishes with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a parchment-covered baking sheet and roast in the oven until crisp-tender and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Toss halfway through cooking.
- Cook pasta in a pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving one cup of cooking liquid. Toss the pasta in a bowl with the pesto and roasted radishes. If need be, add the cooking liquid a little at a time if the pasta mixture is dry. Serve with grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and a few micro greens.
