People don't often cook radishes, but they are quite delicious cooked - a little more mellow than when they are raw - and add a pretty pop of color to any dish.

Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti
- olive oil
- 1 clove garlic thinly sliced
- 12 baby zucchini sliced ¼-inch thick (about 2 cups)
- salt
- 6 to 8 radishes thinly sliced
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 7 ounces fresh peas about 1½ cups
- ⅓ cup fresh chopped mint
- grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
-
Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil. When the water is at a rolling boil, generously salt the water and add the pasta. Cook the pasta until just under al dente, according to package directions.
-
Place the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet or sauté pan and turn the skillet on to pre-heat over medium heat. Before the garlic starts to brown, add the zucchini slices and sauté until tender – about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the radishes and sauté for another minute.
-
When you have one minute left on the pasta cooking time, add the peas to the pasta pot. Drain the pasta and peas together, reserving about ½ cup of the pasta water.
-
Add the pasta and peas to the skillet and toss with the zucchini and radishes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste, the lemon zest and fresh mint. Toss together with a good glug of olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
