Recipe by The Bon Appétit Test Kitchen Radishes and breadcrumbs give this greens-packed vegetarian pasta its crunchy texture.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 3/4 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs made from whole wheat bread 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 pound whole wheat orecchiette (little ear-shaped pasta) Kosher salt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 8 medium radishes (8 ounces), sliced into 1/4" rounds 3 garlic cloves, sliced 2 bunches bitter greens (such as escarole), trimmed, chopped 1 cup finely grated Parmesan 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns

Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and toast, stirring frequently, until golden and crisp, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in lemon zest and red pepper flakes. Set aside. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta cooking liquid. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add radishes; cook, stirring often, until browned in spots but still crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and garlic to skillet; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add greens and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid and cook, stirring often, until greens start to wilt. Add pasta and cheese; stir until cheese melts and sauce is slightly thickened, adding more pasta cooking liquid by 1/4-cupfuls if too dry. Stir in radishes, lemon juice, and pepper. Season with salt. Sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture.
