Ingredients

  • 1 bunch (about 16 ounces) radishes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 large tomato
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Pinch Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 6 leaves fresh basil
  • 8 ounces uncooked pappardelle pasta

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 450F. Cut radishes in half and add to a baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt & pepper. Toss so the radishes are coated. Roast for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the radishes. Mine were larger, so I left them for 30 minutes. They should be tender-crisp once they're done.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pappardelle according to package directions as you're making the sauce.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet or frying pan on medium heat. Chop the onion and add it to the pan. Cook for about five minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, slice the zucchini and then add it to the pan. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring once halfway through, until it's tender.
  • Chop the tomato finely and add it to the pan along with the garlic, Italian seasoning, and the cream. Cook on medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Add the radishes once they're done. Add the fresh basil (tear it by hand). Add salt & pepper if desired.
  • When the pasta is cooked, add it to the pan and toss with the sauce. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
