Radishes with Pasta & Radish Greens
1 cup sliced radishes with green tops
1 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium onion, chopped
6 to 8 ounces cooked pasta, such as penne or shells
2 tablespoons cup cooking water from pasta
2 to 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
Salt and pepper
Separate the greens from the radishes. Wash greens thoroughly and then drain. Wash and trim radishes and slice thinly.
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Add onions and cook just until they begin to soften. Add radish slices and greens. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until greens wilt and radishes look almost translucent. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add drained pasta to skillet and toss. Add cooking liquid from pasta and stir. Sprinkle on the cheese and toss.
Serves 2.
