For the first recipe, besides radishes, you’ll need salt, pepper, butter and either fresh dill or parsley. After trimming and rinsing the radishes, cut them in half. The radishes are added to a wide saucepan along with water, butter, seasoned with salt and pepper and covered to cook for just 5 minutes or until tender. The cover is removed so that the liquid is reduced. It’s amazing how the “bite” of the radish dissipates. These little red gems are delightful when cooked with their spiciness mellowed out. Radishes are rich in antioxidants and contain calcium and potassium combined together help lower blood pressure and reduce risk for heart disease. Arugula is peppery and slightly bitter, while baby arugula is more delicate and milder. I received two bunches of large leaf arugula and was looking for a recipe where the bitterness of the arugula would be tempered. Enter Pasta with Gorgonzola and Arugula. This minimalist recipe by Mark Bittman fit the bill. The arugula’s appearance with a neutral base such as pasta was a start. The addition of Gorgonzola Dolce, an Italian blue cheese with a mild and gentle flavor, lent a creaminess and made for a wonderful sauce. My husband and I loved this combination. This savory pasta makes for quick weeknight meal and a wonderful change from traditional tomato sauce.
