Pasta with Radishes & Their Greens
1-1/2 pounds baby radishes with greens
4 ounces pancetta or bacon, chopped
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
8 ounces campanelle pasta
fine sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
Cut radish greens from radishes. Wash greens well in many changes of water and spin dry. Scrub radishes and trim roots. Cut into quarters or halves, depending on size. Bring a large pot of liberally salted water to a boil. Add radishes and blanch for 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Meanwhile, warm a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add pancetta and fry until nearly crisp. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add blanched radishes and radish greens. Sauté until greens have wilted. Add a 1/4 cup pasta water, cover and steam until radishes are tender, about 5 minutes. Add cooked pasta and combine. Continue to cook until any remaining liquid evaporates. Yield: 2 servings.
